¹³ Now I am speaking to you gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the gentiles, I celebrate my ministry^{(A) 14} in order to make my own people^[a] jealous and thus save some of them.^{(B) 15} For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

²⁹ for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. ³⁰ Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,^{(A) 31} so also they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they also may now^[a] receive mercy. ³² For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful to all.^(B)
