    3For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own people according to the flesh.

    4They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises.

    5To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, came Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

    6It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

    7Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, 'Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.'

    8This means it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

    11Again I ask, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.

    12Now if their transgression means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will come from their full inclusion!

    13I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry.

    14In the hope that I may somehow provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.

    15For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

    19Then you will say, 'Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.'

    20That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

    21For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either.

    22Consider then the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell but kindness to you, provided you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

    23And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

    24For if you were cut off from a wild olive tree and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more easily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

    25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not become conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

    26And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

    27And this will be My covenant with them when I take away their sins."

    28As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,

    29for God’s gifts and His calling are irrevocable.
