11:18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

11:19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

11:20Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

11:21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

11:22Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

11:23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

11:24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
