Gentiles Grafted In and a Warning Against Boasting

Romans 11:11-24

11
Chapter 11
11 I say then, did they stumble so that they might fall? May it not be! But by their trespass salvation has come to the nations, to provoke them to jealousy. 12 But if their trespass is the wealth of the world and their defeat is the wealth of the nations, how much more their fullness! 13 But I say to you, the Gentiles. Insofar as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry. 14 if somehow I might provoke my flesh to jealousy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean other than life from the dead? 16 But if the firstfruits is holy, so also is the lump; and if the root is holy, so also are the branches. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree, 18 Do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast against them, remember it is not you who bear the root, but the root bears you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well, by unbelief they were cut off, but you stand by faith. Do not think high things, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 See then God's kindness and severity: on those who fell, severity; but on you, God's kindness—if you remain in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is powerful to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out from the wild olive tree according to nature and grafted in against nature into the cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the ones according to nature, be grafted into their own olive tree.
