In context
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
14 If by any means I may incite to emulation [them who are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 For if the rejection of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
16 For if the first fruit [is] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [is] holy, so [are] the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive-tree, art ingrafted among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be ingrafted.
