11 I saye then: Haue they therfore stombled, yt they shulde cleane fall to naughte? God forbyd: but thorow their fall is saluacion happened vnto ye Heythen, that he mighte prouoke them to be zelous after them.
12 For yf their fall be the riches of the worlde, and the mynishinge of the the riches of the Heythen: how moch more shulde it be so, yf their fulnesse were there?
13 I speake vnto you Heythen: for in as moch as I am ye Apostle of the Heythen, I wil prayse myne office,
14 yf I mighte prouoke them vnto zele, which are my fleshe, and saue some of them.
15 For yf the losse of them by the recocylinge of the worlde, what were that els, then as yf life were taken of the deed?
16 Yf the begynnynge be holy, then is all ye dowe holy: and yf the rote be holy, then are the braunches holy also.
17 But though some of ye braunches now be broke, and thou, wha thou wast a wylde olyue tre,art grafte in amonge them, and made partaker of the rote and sappe of the olyue tre,
18 boost not thy selfe agaynst the braunches. Yf thou boost thy selfe agaynst them, then bearest not thou the rote, but the rote beareth the.
19 Thou wilt saye then: the braunches are broke of, that I mighte be grafted in.
