13For I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I magnifie mine office: 14If by any means I may prouoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might saue some of them. 15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world: what shal the receiuing of them be, but life from the dead? 16For if the first fruite bee holy, the lumpe is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17And if some of the branches bee broken off, and thou being a wilde oliue tree wert graffed in amongst them, and with them partakest of the roote and fatnesse of the Oliue tree:

People's Bible Notes for Romans 11:15
Ro 11:15 For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the world. See PNT "Ro 11:11". Their unbelief caused the preaching of the gospel of reconciliation to the Gentiles. But life from the dead. The apostle, under this strong expression, describes a wonderful resurrection of spiritual life which will follow the national conversion of Israel.
