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:
