Romans 11:17-24 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, have been grafted in among them, and partake with them of the root and fatness of the olive,

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, have been grafted in among them, and partake with them of the root and fatness of the olive, ¹⁸ boast not against the branches; but if you boast, boast not that you bear the root, but that the root bears you. ¹⁹ You will say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. ²⁰ Well; on ac count of unbelief they were broken off; but you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear. ²¹ For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed, lest he spare not you. ²² Behold, then, the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell,. severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise, you also shall be cut off. ²³ And they, also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if you were cut out from an olive-tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, against nature, into a good olive, how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive?
