Romans 11:11-24

11I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.

12But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?

13For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as I am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;

14if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.

15For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?

16Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.

17Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and thou, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,

18boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not thou bearest the root, but the root thee.

19Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that I might be grafted in.

20Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and thou standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

21if 1God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.

22Behold then [the] goodness and severity of 2God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of 3God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] thou also wilt be cut away.

23And they too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for 4God is able again to graft them in.

24For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?
