13. But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
14. if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15. For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16. And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
