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.
17But 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,
18Do 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.
19You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.
