12Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy [them that are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
15For if the casting away of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
16And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
18glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
