This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I say then, Have they stumbled - “Did they stumble”
that they should fall? God forbid; but - the supplement “rather” is better omitted.
through their fall - literally, “trespass,” but here best rendered “false step” [De Wette]; not “fall,” as in our version.
salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy - Here, as also in Rom 10:19 (quoted from Deu 32:21), we see that emulation is a legitimate stimulus to what is good.
