If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them (11:14)

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? (11:15)

For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches (11:16)

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; (11:17)

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee (11:18)

Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in (11:19)

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: (11:20)

For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee (11:21)

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 (11:22)

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again (11:23)

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? (11:24)

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 (11:25)

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: (11:26)

For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins (11:27)

As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes (11:28)

For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance (11:29)

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: (11:30)

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy (11:31)

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all (11:32)

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out! (11:33)

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? (11:34)

Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? (11:35)

For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen (11:36)
