Romans 11:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 I hope in this way to make some of my own people jealous enough to be saved. 15 When Israel rejected God,[a] the rest of the people in the world were able to turn to him. So when God makes friends with Israel, it will be like bringing the dead back to life. 16 If part of a batch of dough is made holy by being offered to God, then all of the dough is holy. If the roots of a tree are holy, the rest of the tree is holy too.

Romans 11:14-16
New International Version
14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy(A) and save(B) some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation(C) to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?(D) 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits(E) is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
