Living_Oracles(i)
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.
20 True: by unbelief they were broken off, and you by faith, stand. Be not high-minded, but fear.
21 For, if God spared not the natural branches; perhaps, neither will he spare you.
22 Behold, then, the goodness and severity of God! Toward them who fell, severity: but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise, you also shall be cut off.
