ISB ~ Romans 11 v13
to you Gentiles:Paul addresses his Gentile readers directly, cautioning them against pride. Some Gentile converts looked disdainfully upon Israel, as though they had replaced the covenant people in the messianic age. Paul not only rejects this (11:1); he warns that Gentiles, too, can be rejected as easily as they have been accepted. They should rather marvel that God has given them a share in Israel’s spiritual blessings (15:27). Pagan anti-Semitism was pervasive in Roman antiquity.
