Romans 11:7-14
New International Version
7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain.(A) The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,(B) 8 as it is written:

eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,(C)
to this very day.”[a](D)
9 And David says:
“May their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,(E)
and their backs be bent forever.”[b](F)

11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!(G) Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles(H) to make Israel envious.(I) 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles,(J) how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,(K) I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy(L) and save(M) some of them.

7 I became a servant of this gospel(H) by the gift of God’s grace given me(I) through the working of his power.(J) 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,(K) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles(L) the boundless riches of Christ,(M)
