Romans 11:11-24
The Ingrafting of the Gentiles
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
11:
12 Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
12:
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
13:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them.
14:
15 For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
15:
16 For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
16:
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
17:
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
18:
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
19:
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
20:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
21:
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
22:
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
23:
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?
24:
