17 And if some of the branches are exscinded and you, being a wild olive, are ingrafted and with them become co-partaker of the root and fatness of the olives;
18 exult not against the branches. But if you exult, you bear not the root, but the root you.
19 So you say, The branches were exscinded, to ingraft me.
20 Well! Because of trustlessness, they were exscinded and by trust, you stand. Be not highminded, but awe:
21 for if Elohim spared not the natural branches, heed lest somehow he spare not you.
22 So perceive the kindness and severity of Elohim: on them who fell, indeed severity; and toward you, kindness - whenever you abide in his kindness: otherwise you also become exscinded;
23 and they also become ingrafted, unless they ever abide in trustlessness: for Elohim is able to ingraft them again.
24 For if you, by nature, are exscinded from the wild olive, and against nature are ingrafted into a good olive: how much more are these the natural ingrafted into their own olive?
