10Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.
11So 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.
12Now, 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?
13But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:
14If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.
15For, 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?
16And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
