17 Though some of the braunches be broken of, and thou beynge a wylde olyue tree, wast graft in among them, and made partaker of the rote and fatnes of the olyue tree,
18 boast not thy selfe agaynst the braunches. For yf thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the rote, but the rote the.
19 Thou wilt saye then: the braunches are broken of that I myght be graft in.
20 Thou sayest well: because of vnbeleue they were broken of, and thou stodest stedfast in fayth.
21 Be not hye mynded, but feare: for seynge that God spared not the naturall braunches, take hede, lest it come to passe that he spare not the also.
22 Beholde therfore the kyndnes and rygorousnes of God: on them which fell, rygorousnes. but towardes the, kyndnes: yf thou continue in hys kyndnes. Or els thou shalt be hewen of,
23 and they agayne yf they byde not styll in vnbelefe, shalbe graffed in agayne. For God is of power to graffe them in agayne.
24 For yf thou wast cut out of a naturall wylde olyue tree, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a true olyue tree: how moch more shall the naturall braunches be graffed in their awne olyue tree agayne.
