* I say , then , Did not they stumble that they fall ? Let it not be ! But by their slipping away came salvation to the nations , to provoke them to jealousy . * But if their slipping away is the riches of the world , and their default the riches of the nations , how much more their fullness ? * For I speak to you , the nations , since I am an apostle of the nations , (I glorify my ministry ), * if somehow I may provoke to jealousy my flesh , and may save some of them . * For if their casting away is the reconciliation of the world , what the reception , except life from the dead ? * Now if the firstfruit is holy , also the lump . And if the root is holy , also the branches . * But if some of the branches were broken off , and you , being a wild olive tree were grafted in among them , and became a sharer of the root and the fatness of the olive tree , * do not boast against the branches . But if you do boast , it is not you that bears the root , but the root bears you . * You will say then , The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in . * Well ! For unbelief they were broken off . And you stand by faith . Do not be highminded , but fear . * For if God did not spare the natural branches , fear that it may be He will not spare you either . * Behold , then , the kindness and severity of God : On those having fallen , severity . But on you , kindness , if you continue in the kindness . Otherwise , you will also be cut off . * And those also , if they do not continue in unbelief , will be grafted in . For God is able to graft them in again . * For if you were cut out of the natural wild olive tree , and against nature were grafted into a good olive tree , how much more these being according to nature will be grafted into their own olive tree ?
