Romans 11:13-32

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as ^(A)I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, ¹⁴ if somehow I might ^(B)move to jealousy ^(C)my ^[a]fellow countrymen and ^(D)save some of them. ¹⁵ For if their rejection is the ^(E)reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but ^(F)life from the dead? ¹⁶ If the ^(G)first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.

¹⁷ But if some of the ^(H)branches were broken off, and ^(I)you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the ^[b]rich root of the olive tree, ¹⁸ do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that ^(J)it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. ^19 (K)You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” ²⁰ Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you ^(L)stand by your faith. ^(M)Do not be conceited, but fear; ²¹ for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. ²² Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s ^(N)kindness, ^(O)if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also ^(P)will be cut off. ²³ And they also, ^(Q)if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For ^(R)I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this ^(S)mystery—so that you will not be ^(T)wise in your own estimation—that a partial ^(U)hardening has happened to Israel until the ^(V)fullness of the Gentiles has come in; ²⁶ and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,

^28 [d]From the standpoint of the gospel they are ^(Z)enemies for your sake, but ^[e]from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for ^(AA)the sake of the fathers; ²⁹ for the gifts and the ^(AB)calling of God ^(AC)are irrevocable. ³⁰ For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, ³¹ so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. ³² For ^(AD)God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.
