Romans 11:13-18
New King James Version
13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as (A)I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and (B)save some of them. 15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be (C)but life from the dead?
16 For if (D)the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if (E)some of the branches were broken off, (F)and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and [a]fatness of the olive tree, 18 (G)do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Romans 11:13-18
New International Version
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,(A) I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy(B) and save(C) some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation(D) to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?(E) 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits(F) is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 If some of the branches have been broken off,(G) and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others(H) and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.(I)

Romans 11:13-18
New Living Translation
13 I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this, 14 for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them. 15 For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead! 16 And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.
17 But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree. 18 But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.

English Standard Version
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as (A)I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and (B)thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means (C)the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 (D)If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if (E)some of the branches were broken off, and you, (F)although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[a] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.

Kehillah in Rome 11:13-18
Orthodox Jewish Bible
13 I am speaking to you Goyim. So then, in as much as I am Shliach of the Ethnic Groups, I magnify my avodas kodesh, in the tikvah
14 that I might provoke my kinsmen to jealousy and might save some of them.
15 For if their rejection means ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity, hostility between a wrathful holy G-d and sinful men) for the gontzer velt (whole world), what shall their acceptance mean other than Chayyim min haMesim (Life from the dead ones)?
16 If the terumah haissa (portion, offering of the dough) that is reshit (first) is kodesh (holy), so is the whole; and if the shoresh (root) is kodesh (holy), so also are the ana’fim (the branches).
17 But if some of the ana’fim have been broken off, and you, a wild olive, have been grafted among them and have become sharer in the richness of the olive tree’s root,
18 Do not boast (4:2) over the ana’fim. If you do boast, it is not the case that you sustain the shoresh, but the shoresh sustains you.
