Romans 11:11-19 I ask then, "Have they stumbled so as to fall?" No indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come unto Gentiles, "to provoke Israel to jealousy."

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ I ask then, "Have they stumbled so as to fall?" No indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come unto Gentiles, "to provoke Israel to jealousy." ¹² Now if their stumbling enriches the world, and their loss enriches the Gentiles, how much more must their fulness do! ¹³ For to you who are Gentiles I say that since I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry, ¹⁴ if by any means I might "provoke to jealousy" my kinsmen, and save some among them. ¹⁵ For if their casting out is the reconciliation of the world to God, what will their restoration be but life out of death? ¹⁶ Now if the first-fruits of the dough Abraham and the Patriarchs are holy, so also is the whole mass their descendants. And if the root of a tree Abraham is holy, so also are the branches his descendants. ¹⁷ Supposing that some of the branches have been broken off, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among the branches and have become a partaker with them of the fatness of the olive tree, do not glory over the branches; ¹⁸ or if you are glorying, remember that it is not you who uphold the root, but the root which upholds you. ¹⁹ "Branches have been broken off," you say, "that I might be grafted in."
