Romans 11:16 in Context — Romans 11

14 afin, s’il est possible, d’exciter la jalousie de ceux de ma race, et d’en sauver quelques-uns.

15 Car si leur rejet a été la réconciliation du monde, que sera leur réintégration, sinon une vie d’entre les morts?

16 Or, si les prémices sont saintes, la masse l’est aussi; et si la racine est sainte, les branches le sont aussi.

17 Mais si quelques-unes des branches ont été retranchées, et si toi, qui étais un olivier sauvage, tu as été enté à leur place, et rendu participant de la racine et de la graisse de l’olivier,

18 ne te glorifie pas aux dépens de ces branches. Si tu te glorifies, sache que ce n’est pas toi qui portes la racine, mais que c’est la racine qui te porte.
