Romans 11:12

Now if their failure is the riches of the world, and if their loss is the riches of the Gentiles, how much greater will their completion be?

Unlocked Literal Bible

In The King James Version

Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

13But now I am speaking to you Gentiles, and as long as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry.
