¹⁹ You will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted among the others to share the rich root^[a] of the olive tree,

²³ And even those of Israel,^[a] if they do not continue in unbelief,^[b] will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.^{(A) 24} For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

But through their stumbling^[a] salvation has come to the gentiles, so as to make Israel^[b] jealous.^{(A) 12} Now if their stumbling^[c] means riches for the world and if their loss means riches for gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
