13For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;
14if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,
15for if the casting away of them [is] a reconciliation of the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead?
16and if the first-fruit [is] holy, the lump also; and if the root [is] holy, the branches also.
17And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --
18do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!
19Thou wilt say, then, `The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;` right!
