Romans 11:9-20

9And DavidG1160 saysG3004, “1May their tableG5132 becomeG1096 a snareG3803 and a trapG2339, And a stumblingG4625 blockG4625 and a retributionG468 to them.102May their eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654 to seeG991 not, And bendG4781 their backsG3577 continuallyG1223G3956.”

113I sayG3004 thenG3767, they did not stumbleG4417 soG2443 asG2443 to fallG4098, did they? 45FarG3361 fromG3361 it! But by their wrongdoingG3900 6salvationG4991 has come to the GentilesG1484, to 7makeG3863 them jealousG3863. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 their wrongdoingG3900 proves to be richesG4149 for the worldG2889, and their failureG2275, richesG4149 for the GentilesG1484, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will their 89fulfillmentG4138 be! 13But I am speakingG3004 to you who are GentilesG1484. ThereforeG3767 insofarG1909G3745 as 10I amG1510 an apostleG652 of GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 my ministryG1248 14ifG1487 somehowG4458 I may 11moveG3863 12my 13ownG4561 peopleG4561 toG3863 jealousyG3863 and 14saveG4982 someG5100 of them. 15For ifG1487 their rejectionG580 proves to be the 15reconciliationG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 will their acceptanceG4356 be but 16lifeG2222 from the deadG3498? 16IfG1487 the 17firstG536 pieceG536 of dough is holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532; and ifG1487 the rootG4491 is holyG40, the branchesG2798 are asG2532 wellG2532.

17But ifG1487 someG5100 of the 18branchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575, and 19you, beingG1510 a wildG65 oliveG65, were graftedG1461 inG1461 amongG1722 them and becameG1096 partakerG4791 with them of the 20richG4096 rootG4491 of the oliveG1636 treeG1636, 18do not be arrogantG2620 towardG2620 the branchesG2798; but ifG1487 you are arrogantG2620, remember that 21it is not you who supportsG941 the rootG4491, but the rootG4491 supports you. 1922You will sayG3004 thenG3767, “BranchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575 soG2443 thatG2443 I might be graftedG1461 inG1461.” 20QuiteG2573 rightG2573, they were brokenG1575 offG1575 for their unbeliefG570, but you 23standG2476 by your faithG4102. 24Do not beG5426 conceitedG5426G5308, but fearG5399;
