12. And if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the gentiles, how much more their completeness!
13. For I speak to you, the gentiles, inasmuch as I am an emissary to the gentiles, I esteem my service,
14. if somehow I might provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
15. For if their casting away is the restoration to favour of the world, what is their acceptance but life from the dead?
16. Now if the first-fruit is set-apart, the lump is also. And if the root is set-apart, so are the branches.
17. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them, and came to share the root and fatness of the olive tree,
18. do not boast against the branches. And if you boast, remember: you do not bear the root, but the root bears you!
19. You shall say then, “The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.”
20. Good! By unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by belief. Do not be arrogant, but fear.
21. For if Elohim did not spare the natural branches, He might not spare you either.
22. See then the kindness and sharpness of Elohim: on those who fell sharpness, but toward you kindness, if you continue in His kindness, otherwise you also shall be cut off.
23. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, shall be grafted in, for Elohim is able to graft them in again.
24. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
