NSB(i)
11 I ask: Did they stumble and fall? Certainly not! But rather through their fall into sin salvation has come to the nations. This will provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if their fall into sin means riches to the world, and their decrease means riches of the nations how much more will their full number mean?
13 I speak to you people of the nations. For I am the apostle to the nations and I glorify (honor) (praise) (celebrate) my ministry.
14 If by any means I may provoke those who are of my flesh (fellow countrymen), and might save some of them.
15 If their rejection means reconciliation for the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
16 If the first piece is holy, the lump is also holy. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Some of the branches are broken off. You, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them. Therefore you partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree with them.
18 Do not boast against the branches. But if you boast, you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say, »The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.«
