Israel’s Rejection Not Final

11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But athrough their fall, to provoke them to bjealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.  
12 Now if their1 fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!  
13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as aI am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,  
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and asave some of them.  
15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be abut life from the dead?  
16 For if athe firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Romans 11:13

To you that are Gentiles (umin toiv eqnesin). "To you the Gentiles." He has a serious word to say to them.

Inasmuch then (ef oson men oun). Not temporal, quamdiu, "so long as" (Matthew 9:15), but qualitative quatenus "in so far then as" (Matthew 25:40).

I glorify my ministry (thn diakonian mou docazw). As apostle to the Gentiles (eqnwn apostolov, objective genitive). Would that every minister of Christ glorified his ministry.

If by any means (ei pwv). This use of ei with purpose or aim is a kind of indirect discourse.

I may provoke (parazhlwsw). Either future active indicative or first aorist active subjunctive, see same uncertainty in Philippians 3:10 katanthsw, but in Romans 3:11 katalabw after ei is subjunctive. The future indicative is clear in Romans 1:10 and the optative in Acts 27:12. Doubtful whether future indicative or aorist subjunctive also in swsw (save).
