Emulation

Emulation – Jealous to a zealous envy that motivates and causes like behavior.

Romans 11:11-15 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?  God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.  [12] 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 fulness?  [13] For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: [14] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.  [15] For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
