11. I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12. Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13. But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
14. if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15. For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16. And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17. But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
18. glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
19. Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20. Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21. for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
