^{11 Ref} I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation `is' to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;

^{12 Ref} and if the fall of them `is' the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?

^{13 Ref} For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;

^{14 Ref} if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,

^{15 Ref} for if the casting away of them `is' a reconciliation of the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead?

^{16 Ref} and if the first-fruit `is' holy, the lump also; and if the root `is' holy, the branches also.

^{17 Ref} And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --

^{18 Ref} do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!

^{19 Ref} Thou wilt say, then, `The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right!

^{20 Ref} by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

^{21 Ref} for if God the natural branches did not spare -- lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.

^{22 Ref} Lo, then, goodness and severity of God -- upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.

^{23 Ref} And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;

^{24 Ref} for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who `are' according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?
