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 fullness?
All Commentaries on Romans 11:12 Go To Romans 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Even if the Jews had fallen a thousand times, the Gentiles would not have been saved unless they had shown faith. Likewise, the Jews would not have perished unless they had been unbelieving and disputatious. Here Paul is consoling the Jews in their distress, giving them reason to be confident of their salvation if they were to change.
