14if somehow I may provoke to jealousy my fellow Jews, and thus save some of them.
15For if their casting away means reconciliation for the world, what will their acceptance be, if not life from the dead?
16For if the firstfruit is holy, so also the lump; and if the root is holy, so also the branches.
17But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,
18do not be arrogant towards the branches. But if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you that supports the root, but the root supports you.
19You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
20That is true. By unbelief they were broken off, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear.
21For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He may not spare you either.
22Behold then the kindness and severity of God: upon those that fell, severity; but upon you, kindness, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also shall be cut off.
23And they also, if they do not remain in unbelief, shall be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25For I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers, lest you be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
26And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer shall come out of Zion, and He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”
28As regards to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as regards to election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
