riversident - Romans:11:11-24

riversident@Romans:11:11 @ I say, then, have they stumbled just in order that they may fall? Never. But by their fall salvation comes to the Gentiles so as to arouse the emulation of the Jews.

riversident@Romans:11:12 @ If their fall is the riches of the world and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration be!

riversident@Romans:11:13 @ But I say to you Gentiles \'97 since I am an apostle to Gentiles I glory in my office,

riversident@Romans:11:14 @ if in any way I may arouse to emulation my own kindred and save some of them \'97

riversident@Romans:11:15 @ if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their welcome back be but life from the dead?

riversident@Romans:11:16 @ If the first fruit was holy, so will the mass be; and if the root was holy, so will be the branches.

riversident@Romans:11:17 @ If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,

riversident@Romans:11:18 @ do not exult over the branches. Even though you exult, it is not you who are supporting the root, but the root is supporting you.

riversident@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

riversident@Romans:11:20 @ Certainly, for lack of faith they were broken off, and you are standing by faith. Do not be proud, but be afraid.

riversident@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

riversident@Romans:11:22 @ See the kindness and the rigor of God, toward those who fell rigor, but toward you God's kindness, if you continue in his kindness, else you too will be cut off.

riversident@Romans:11:23 @ And they if they do not continue in their unbelief will be grafted in.

riversident@Romans:11:24 @ For God is able to graft them back. For if you were cut from your natural stock, a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree, how much more will the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree!
