TO THE JEW FIRST: WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

GENTILES ARE INDEBTED TO THE JEWS

25 At present, however, fI am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints.

26 For gMacedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.

27 For they were pleased to do it, and indeed hthey owe it to them.

For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

16 Now concerning1 e the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On f the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, g as he may prosper, h so that there will be no collecting when I come.

3 And when I arrive, I will send i those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me. 1

JESUS’ RETURN IS CONTINGENT ON BEING WELCOMED BY THE JEWS

37 k “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that l kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!

How often would I have m gathered n your children together o as a hen gathers her brood p under her wings, and q you were not willing!

38 See, r your house is left to you desolate.

39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, s ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’

GENTILES ARE GRAFTED IN, BUT DO NOT REPLACE ISRAEL

11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall?

By no means!

Rather, through their trespass u salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion2 mean!

13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles.

Inasmuch then as v I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and w thus save some of them.

15 For if their rejection means x the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

16 y If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

17 But if z some of the branches were broken off, and you, a although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root3 of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches.

If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.

19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true.

They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you b stand fast through faith.

So c do not become proud, but d fear.

21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, e provided you continue in his kindness.

Otherwise f you too will be cut off.

23 And g even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree. 1

11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called k the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember l that you were at that time separated from Christ, m alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to n the covenants of promise, o having no hope and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were p far off have been brought near q by the blood of Christ.

14 For r he himself is our peace, s who has made us both one and has broken down t in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in u ordinances, that he might create in himself one v new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might w reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.

17 And he came and x preached peace to you who were y far off and peace to those who were z near.

18 For a through him we both have b access in c one Spirit to the Father.

19 So then you are no longer d strangers and aliens,4 but you are e fellow citizens with the saints and f members of the household of God, 20 g built on the foundation of the h apostles and prophets, i Christ Jesus himself being j the cornerstone, 21 k in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into l a holy temple in the Lord.

22 In him m you also are being built together n into a dwelling place for God by5 the Spirit. 1
