Story guide: Disclosed visual essay. Israel did not stumble so as to fall beyond recovery. Their trespass brings salvation and riches to the Gentiles, while Paul longs for Israel’s fullness and acceptance as life from the dead; holy firstfruits and root point toward hope for the whole.
Open this scene in the reader →11So I say, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! Rather, by their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.
12If their trespass means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean?
13I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch, then, as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
14if somehow I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
15For if their rejection means reconciliation for the world, what will their acceptance mean if not life from the dead?
16If the firstfruits are holy, so is the whole batch of dough; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
