Romans 11:9-20

9AndG2532 DavidG1138 saysG3004:

“May theirG846 tableG5132 becomeG1096G1519 a snareG3803 andG2532 a trapG2339,a stumbling blockG4625 andG2532 a retributionG468 to themG846.10May theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654 so they cannot seeG3361G3588G991,andG2532 theirG846 backsG3577 be bentG4781 foreverG1223G3956.”1

11I askG3004 thenG3767, did they stumbleG3361G4417 so asG2443 to fall beyond recoveryG4098?2 Certainly notG3361G1096! HoweverG235, because ofG3588 theirG846 trespassG3900, salvationG4991 has come to theG3588 GentilesG1484 toG1519 make Israel jealousG3863G846. 12ButG1161 ifG1487 theirG846 trespassG3900 means richesG4149 for the worldG2889, andG2532 theirG846 failureG2275 means richesG4149 for the GentilesG1484, how muchG4214 greaterG3123 riches will theirG846 fullnessG4138 bring!

I am speakingG3004 to youG4771 GentilesG1484. InasmuchG1909G3303G3745G3767 as IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 to the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 myG1473 ministryG1248 14in the hope thatG1487G4459 I may provokeG3863 myG1473 own people to jealousyG4561 andG2532 saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846. 15ForG1063 ifG1487 theirG846 rejectionG580 is the reconciliationG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 will their acceptanceG4356 be butG1487G3361 lifeG2222 fromG1537 the deadG3498? 16IfG1487 theG3588 first partG536 of the dough is holyG40, soG2532 is theG3588 whole batchG5445; ifG1487 theG3588 rootG4491 is holyG40, soG2532 are theG3588 branchesG2798.

17NowG1161 ifG1487 someG5100 branchesG2798 have been broken offG1575, andG1161 youG4771, a wild olive shootG65, have been grafted inG1461 amongG1722 the others to shareG1096G4791 in theG3588 nourishmentG4096 of theG3588 oliveG1636 rootG4491, 18do notG3361 boast overG2620 thoseG3588 branchesG2798. IfG1487 you do, remember this: YouG4771 do notG3756 supportG941 theG3588 rootG4491, butG235 theG3588 rootG4491 supports youG4771.

19You will sayG2046 thenG3767, “BranchesG2798 were broken offG1575 so thatG2443 IG1473 could be grafted inG1461.” 20That is correctG2573: They were broken offG1575 because ofG3588 unbeliefG570, butG1161 youG4771 standG2476 by faithG4102. Do notG3361 be arrogantG5308G5426, butG235 be afraidG5399.
