Acts 22:21

Acts 28:28

28Therefore let it be known to you that fthis gsalvation of God hhas been sent to the Gentiles; ithey will listen.”
Some manuscripts add verse 29: And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much dispute among themselves


Romans 11:12-22

12Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion
Greek  their fullness
mean!

13Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as lI am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and mthus save some of them. 15For if their rejection means nthe reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 oIf the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

17But if psome of the branches were broken off, and you, qalthough a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root
Greek root of richness; some manuscripts richness
of the olive tree,
18do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 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 sstand fast through faith. So tdo not become proud, but ufear. 21For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, vprovided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise wyou too will be cut off.
