Romans 11:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ in order to make my own people^[a] jealous, and thus save some of them. ¹⁵ For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead! ¹⁶ If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; and if the root is holy, then the branches also are holy.
