* I say then , Have they stumbled in order that they might fall ? Far be the thought : but by their fall [there is ] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy . * But if their fall [be the ] world 's wealth , and their loss [the ] wealth of [the ] nations , how much rather their fulness ? * For I speak to you , the nations , inasmuch as I am apostle of nations , I glorify my ministry ; * if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are ] my flesh , and shall save some from among them . * For if their casting away [be the ] world 's reconciliation , what [their ] reception but life from among [the ] dead ? * Now if the first-fruit [be ] holy , the lump also ; and if the root [be ] holy , the branches also . * Now if some of the branches have been broken out , and thou , being a wild olive tree , hast been grafted in amongst them , and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree , * boast not against the branches ; but if thou boast , [it is ] not thou bearest the root , but the root thee . * Thou wilt say then , The branches have been broken out in order that I might be grafted in . * Right : they have been broken out through unbelief , and thou standest through faith . Be not high-minded , but fear : * if God indeed has not spared the natural branches ; lest it might be he spare not thee either . * Behold then [the ] goodness and severity of God : upon them who have fallen , severity ; upon thee goodness of God , if thou shalt abide in goodness , since [otherwise ] thou also wilt be cut away . * And they too , if they abide not in unbelief , shall be grafted in ; for God is able again to graft them in . * For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature , and , contrary to nature , hast been grafted into the good olive tree , how much rather shall they , who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree ?
