Romans 11:13-16

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.
