11 I say then, haue they therfore stumbled, that they shoulde fall? God forbyd: but through their fall, saluation [is come] vnto the gentiles, for to prouoke them withall
12 Nowe, yf the fall of them be ye ryches of the worlde, and the minishyng of the, the ryches of the gentiles: Howe much more their fulnesse
13 For I speake to you gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of the gentiles, I magnifie myne office
14 If by any meane I may prouoke the which are my fleshe, and myght saue some of them
15 For yf the castyng away of them, be the reconcilyng of the worlde: what shall the receauyng [of them] be, but lyfe from the dead
16 For yf the first fruites be holy, ye whole lumpe also [is holy.] And yf the roote be holy, the braunches also
17 And yf some of the brauches be broken of, and thou beyng a wylde Oliue tree, wast graft in among them, & made partaker of the roote and fatnesse of the Oliue tree
18 Boast not thy selfe agaynst the braunches. For yf thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee
19 Thou wylt say then, the braunches are broken of, that I might be graft in
20 Well: because of vnbeliefe, they were broken of, and thou stodest stedfast in fayth. Be not hye mynded, but feare
21 For seyng that God spared not the naturall braunches [take heede] lest it come to passe, that he spare not thee
22 Beholde therfore, the kyndnesse and rigorousnesse of God: on them which fell, rigorousnesse: but towardes thee, kyndnesse, if thou continue in kindnesse, or els thou shalt be hewen of
23 And they, yf they byde not styll in vnbeliefe, shalbe graffed in: For God is of power to graffe them in agayne
24 For yf thou were cut out of a naturall wylde Oliue tree, and were graffed contrary to nature, in a true Oliue tree: Howe much more shall the naturall braunches, be graffed in their owne Oliue tree
