10. Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
11. I say then, Have they stumbled in such a manner that they should fall completely? No, in no wise; but rather through their fall, saving health is come unto the Gentiles to provoke them unto jealousy.
12. And if the fall of them is the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their fullness be?
13. For (I call you Gentiles) inasmuch as I am truly the apostle of the Gentiles, my honorable ministry,
14. if in any manner I may provoke my nation to jealousy and cause some of them to be saved.
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. For if the firstfruit is holy, so shall the rest be; and if the root is holy, so shall be the branches.
