Romans 11:11-18
Romans 11:11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.
Romans 11:12 Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
Romans 11:14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
Romans 11:15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
Romans 11:16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
Romans 11:18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
Fullness: pleroma {play'-ro-mah}
1) that which is (has been) filled
2) of those things which a ship is filled, freight and
merchandise, sailors, oarsmen, soldiers
Firstfruit: aparche {ap-ar-khay'}
1) to offer firstlings
2) to take away the firstfruits of the productions of the earth which
was offered to God.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the fullness of Your blessing and riches.
I will give You my firstfruits.
