Did you stumble willing to fall?
Rather through trespass salvation;
Having a prognosis for all,
Of a spiritual foundation.
This makes Israel envious,
Jealous of Gentile style;
That was making them furious,
Find grace when they did defile.
If their trespass constitutes wealth,
And failure means riches for them;
Does that regain spiritual health,
Rather than God is to condemn.
So I am now speaking to you,
Being a messenger for Christ;
I magnify as what is true,
The reason He was sacrificed.
I may provoke emulation,
In order to save some of them;
And to offer them salvation,
So that the Lord will not condemn.
Because if there is rejection,
Then what will their acceptance mean;
Having reconciliation,
That letting confession to clean.
If the first fruit becomes holy,
From the branches down to the root;
Then the tree is meek and lowly,
For harvesting a ripened fruit.
