Ingrafted Branches
11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of
their transgression, salvation has come to
the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 But if
their transgression means riches for the world,
and their loss means riches for
the Gentiles, how much greater riches
will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my
ministry 14 in the hope
that I may somehow arouse my own people to
envy and save some of them. 15 For
if their rejection
brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be
but life from the dead? 16 If the part
of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is
holy, so are the branches.
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and
you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the
nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be
superior to those other branches. If you do,
consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports
you. 19 You will say
then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be
grafted in.” 20 Granted.
But they were broken off because
of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For
if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not
spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness
of God: sternness to those who fell,
but kindness to you, provided that you continue in
his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut
off. 23 And
if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in,
for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if
you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature
were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches,
be grafted into their own olive tree!
