Israel’s Stumble and Gentile Salvation
Romans 11:11-16
11
“In that case, I say, isn’t it that they have stumbled with the result that they have permanently fallen away?” Heaven forbid! Quite the contrary, it is by means of their stumbling that the deliverance has come to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
12
Moreover, if their stumbling is bringing riches to the world — that is, if Isra’el’s being placed temporarily in a condition less favored than that of the Gentiles is bringing riches to the latter — how much greater riches will Isra’el in its fullness bring them!
13
However, to those of you who are Gentiles I say this: since I myself am an emissary sent to the Gentiles, I make known the importance of my work
14
in the hope that somehow I may provoke some of my own people to jealousy and save some of them!
15
For if their casting Yeshua aside means reconciliation for the world, what will their accepting him mean? It will be life from the dead!
16
Now if the hallah offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole loaf. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.
