Romans 11:9-16

9And David says, Let their table become a snare and a trap, a pitfall and a retribution to them.

10Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and their backs be bent continually.

11I ask, then, have they stumbled so as to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

12Now if their transgression brings riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness bring!

13Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Insofar as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

14if I might somehow make my own people jealous and save some of them.

15For if their rejection brings reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

16Now if the firstfruits are holy, so is the whole batch. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.
