ACV(i)
11 I say then, did they stumble so that they would fall? May it not happen! But in their transgression, salvation is to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if their transgression is wealth of the world, and their failure is wealth of Gentiles, how much more their fullness?
13 For I speak to you the Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of Gentiles, I enhance my ministry,
14 if somehow I may provoke my flesh to jealousy and may save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them is reconciliation of the world, what is the acceptance except life from the dead?
16 And if the first fruit is holy, the branch is also. And if the root is holy, the branches are also.
17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree,
18 do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do not bear the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou will therefore say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.
20 Correct! They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by thy faith. Be not high-minded but fear,
21 for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and the severity of God. Indeed toward those who fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou too will be cut off.
23 And also those, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.
