ROMANS 11:14-18

¹⁴if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them.

¹⁵For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

¹⁶And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

¹⁷But 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;

¹⁸glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
