Romans 11

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?
