45:011:009 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,
and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
45:011:010 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow
down their back alway.
45:011:011 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God
forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto
the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
45:011:012 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the
diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more
their fulness?
45:011:013 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of
the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
45:011:014 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my
flesh, and might save some of them.
45:011:015 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
45:011:016 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
45:011:017 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
45:011:018 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou
bearest not the root, but the root thee.
