tcent - Romans:11:11-24

tcent@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? Certainly not! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

tcent@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean!

tcent@Romans:11:13 @ Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

tcent@Romans:11:14 @ in the hope that I may somehow arouse to jealousy the kinsmen of my flesh and save some of them.

tcent@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

tcent@Romans:11:16 @ If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole lump is holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

tcent@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the rest to share the root of the olive tree,

tcent@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

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

tcent@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only by faith. So do not be proud, but stand in awe.

tcent@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

tcent@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore consider the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

tcent@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

tcent@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!
