Living_Oracles(i)
11 I ask, then, have they stumbled, that they may fall? By no means. But, through their fall, salvation is given to the Gentiles, to excite them to emulation.
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 fullness?
13 Now, I speak to you, Gentiles, (and inasmuch as I am the Apostle to the Gentiles, I do honor to my ministry,)
14 if by any means I may excite to emulation my kindred, and may save some of them.
15 For, if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world; what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 Moreover, if the first fruit be holy, the mass is also holy; and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 Now, if some of the branches were broken off, and you who are a wild olive, are engrafted among them, and are become a joint partaker of the root and fatness of the olive;
18 boast not against the branches: but if you boast, still, you bear not the root, but the root you.
19 You will say, however, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
