# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
With Israel as a nation rejecting God, Paul warns the Gentiles to be careful they do not make the same mistake.
|
|
|
|
# Did they stumble so as to fall?
|
|
|
|
"Has God rejected them forever because they sinned?". Paul uses this question to introduce the next thing he wants to say. If your language uses a different way to introduce new topics, you can use it here. Here the words "stumble" and "fall" refer to sinning and having God reject the sinner.

# May it never be.

"That is not possible!" or "Certainly not!" This expression strongly denies that this could happen. You may have a similar expression in your language that you could use here. See how you translated this in Romans 9:14.

# provoke ... to jealousy

See how you translated this phrase in Romans 10:19.
