Romans 11:11-24
\nThe Holy Olive Root, the Israelites, and the Gentiles<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 04\/03\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in Romans 11:11-24.<\/span><\/p>\n

11 I say, then, Did not they stumble that they fall? Let it not be! But by their slipping away came salvation to the nations, to provoke them to jealousy. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

12 But if their slipping away is the riches of the world, and their default the riches of the nations, how much more their fullness? <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

13 For I speak to you, the nations, since I am an apostle of the nations, (I glorify my ministry), <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

14 if somehow I may provoke to jealousy my flesh, and may save some of them. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

15 For if their casting away is the reconciliation of the world, what is the reception, except life from the dead? <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

16 Now if the firstfruit is holy, so also the lump. And if the root is holy, so also the branches. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree were grafted in among them, and became a sharer of the root and the fatness of the olive tree, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, it is not you that bears the root, but the root bears you. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

19 You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

20 Well! For unbelief they were broken off. And you stand by faith. Do not be highminded, but fear. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, fear that it may be He will not spare you either. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

22 Behold, then, the kindness and severity of God: On those having fallen, severity. But on you, kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise, you will also be cut off. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

23 And those also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

24 For if you were cut out of the natural wild olive tree, and against nature were grafted into a good olive tree, how much more these being according to nature will be grafted into their own olive tree? <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
