Romans 11:13-26

Young's Literal Translation

¹³ For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;

¹⁴ if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,

¹⁵ for if the casting away of them [is] a reconciliation of the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead?

¹⁶ and if the first-fruit [is] holy, the lump also; and if the root [is] holy, the branches also.

²³ And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;

²⁴ for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who [are] according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret -- that ye may not be wise in your own conceits -- that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;

²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, `There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,
