[11:11] So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.
[11:12] Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
[11:13] Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
[11:14] in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.
[11:15] For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
[11:16] If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
[11:17] But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree,
[11:18] do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.
[11:19] Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
[11:20] That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear.
[11:21] For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
[11:22] Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.
[11:23] And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.
[11:24] For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
