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

^{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 --
