Romans 11:14-18

¹⁴Perhaps I will provoke to jealousy those who are of my own flesh. Perhaps we will save some of them.

¹⁵For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

¹⁶If the firstfruits are reserved, so is the lump of dough. If the root is reserved, so are the branches.

¹⁷But if some of the branches were broken off, if you, a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them, and if you shared with them in the rich root of the olive tree,

¹⁸do not boast over the branches. But if you do boast, it is not you who supports the root, but the root that supports you.
