12 But if their misstep has become riches for the world, and their loss, riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness be!
13 But I am speaking to you, the Gentiles. Inasmuch therefore as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
14 If perhaps I may provoke those of my flesh to jealousy and save some of them.
15 For if their being cast aside is the reconciliation of the world, what will their being received back be, if not life from the dead?
16 Now if the adough offered as the 1firstfruits is holy, the lump is also; and if the 1root is holy, the branches are also.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were 1grafted in among them and became a fellow partaker of the root of fatness of the 2aolive tree,
18 Do not boast against the branches; but if you boast, remember that it is not you who bear the root, but the root you.
19 You will say then, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.
20 Rightly said: they were broken off because of aunbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be high-minded, but fear;
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.
22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but on you, the akindness of God, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be bcut off.
23 And they also, if they do not continue in aunbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able 1to graft them in again.
24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree and were grafted contrary to nature into the cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own aolive tree!
25 For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery (lest you be wise in yourselves), that ahardness has come upon Israel in part, until the fullness of the 1Gentiles comes in;
26 And thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written, a“The Deliverer will come out of Zion; He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 And this is the covenant from Me with them, when I take away their sins.”
28 According to the gospel they are enemies 1for your sake, but according to the aselection they are beloved 1for the fathers’ sake.
29 For the agracious gifts and the bcalling of God are irrevocable.
30 For just as you once disobeyed God, but now have been shown amercy because of their disobedience,
31 So these also now have disobeyed, so that because of the mercy shown to you they also now may be shown mercy.
32 For God has ashut up all in disobedience that He might 1show bmercy to all.
33 1O the adepth of the briches and 2cwisdom and dknowledge of God! How eunsearchable are His judgments and untraceable His ways!
34 aFor who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has become His counselor?
35 Or who has first given to Him, and it will be repaid to him?
36 Because aout from Him and bthrough Him and cto Him are all things. dTo Him be the glory forever. Amen.
