Romans 11:14 CPDV

¹²  Now if their offense is the riches of the world, and if their diminution is the riches of the Gentiles, how much more is their fullness?

¹³  For I say to you Gentiles: Certainly, as long as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I will honor my ministry,

¹⁴  in such a way that I might provoke to rivalry those who are my own flesh, and so that I may save some of them.

¹⁵  For if their loss is for the reconciliation of the world, what could their return be for, except life out of death?

¹⁶  For if the first-fruit has been sanctified, so also has the whole. And if the root is holy, so also are the branches.
