Romans 11:14 Context
12Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them, the riches of the Gentiles: how much more their fulnesse? 13For I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I magnifie mine office: 14If by any means I may prouoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might saue some of them. 15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world: what shal the receiuing of them be, but life from the dead? 16For if the first fruite bee holy, the lumpe is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
