Romans 10:19

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

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

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. have not: or, are poor?

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
