13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an ^qapostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus ^rsave some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the ^sreconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 If the dough offered as ^tfirstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
