Romans 11:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;

for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,

whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive,

for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save?

take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee.

let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
