    3 For I have a desire to take on myself the curse for my brothers, my family in the flesh:

    4 Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

    5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

    11 So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy.

    12 Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

    13 But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:

    14 If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

    15 For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

    19 You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

    20 Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

    21 For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

    22 See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

    23 And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

    24 For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

    25 For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

    26 And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

    27 And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

    28 As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.

    29 Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.
