Romans:11:11-24

bbe@Romans:11:11 @So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy

bbe@Romans:11:12 @Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

bbe@Romans:11:13 @But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:

bbe@Romans:11:14 @If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

bbe@Romans:11:15 @For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

bbe@Romans:11:16 @And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

bbe@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

bbe@Romans:11:18 @Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

bbe@Romans:11:19 @You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

bbe@Romans:11:20 @Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

bbe@Romans:11:21 @For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

bbe@Romans:11:22 @See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

bbe@Romans:11:23 @And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

bbe@Romans:11:24 @For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?
