Romans 11:11-24
Gentiles Grafted In
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass asalvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as aI am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and athus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means athe reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 aIf the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if asome of the branches were broken off, and you, balthough a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you astand fast through faith. So bdo not become proud, but cfear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, aprovided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise byou too will be cut off. 23 And aeven they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
