Romans 11:16 in Context — Romans 11

14 Por si en alguna manera provocase á celos á mi carne, é hiciese salvos á algunos de ellos.

15 Porque si el extrañamiento de ellos [es] la reconciliación del mundo, ¿qué [será] el recibimiento [de ellos], sino vida de los muertos?

16 Y si el primer fruto es santo, también lo es el todo, y si la raíz es santa, también lo son las ramas.

17 Que si algunas de las ramas fueron quebradas, y tú, siendo acebuche, has sido ingerido en lugar de ellas, y has sido hecho participante de la raíz y de la grosura de la oliva;

18 No te jactes contra las ramas; y si te jactas, [sabe que] no sustentas tú á la raíz, sino la raíz á ti.
