ROMANS 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.11:12 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 fulness?11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers sakes.11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
