Romans 11:11-15 I say then, did the Jews trip over Jesus just so they could fall away from God? Certainly not! There was another reason: Instead, it was by means of their sin that salvation was made available to the Gentiles, so that the Jews might become jealous of them i.e., causing them to want what the Gentiles now had.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ I say then, did the Jews trip [over Jesus] just so they could fall [away from God]? Certainly not! [There was another reason]: Instead, it was by means of their sin that salvation was made available to the Gentiles, so that the Jews might become jealous of them [i.e., causing them to want what the Gentiles now had]. ¹² Now if the Jews sinning meant blessings for [the rest of] the world, and their [spiritual] defection meant blessings for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness [also produce blessings]! [Note: “Fullness” here may mean either a large or the complete number of Jews who will be saved, or become completely obedient to God]. ¹³ Now I am talking to you Gentiles, [and] since I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I will make the most of my ministry [to you], ¹⁴ in hope that somehow I might stir up jealousy among my fellow-Jews, and thereby save some of them. ¹⁵ For if their rejection [by God] meant that [the rest of] the world could be restored to favor [with God], what would [God’s] receiving the Jews back into fellowship be, except like dead people coming back to life?
