    3For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my relatives according to the flesh,

    4who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;

    5of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

    6But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.

    7Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called."

    8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

    11I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

    12Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

    13For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

    14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

    15For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

    19You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."

    20True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;

    21for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

    22See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

    23They also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

    24For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

    25For I don't desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

    26and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

    27This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."

    28Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.

    29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
