Romans 11:12-16
12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their afullness be! 13 But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as aI am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if somehow I might amove to jealousy bmy fellow countrymen and csave some of them. 15 For if their rejection is the areconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but blife from the dead? 16 And if the afirst piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.
