Romans 11:12-21

¹²and 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?

¹³For to you I speak — to the nations — inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;

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

¹⁵for if the casting away of them is a reconciliation of the world, what the reception — if not life out of the dead?

¹⁶and if the first-fruit is holy, the lump also; and if the root is holy, the branches also.

¹⁷And 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 —

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

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

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

²¹for if God the natural branches did not spare — lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.
