Living_Oracles(i)
15 For, if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world; what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 Moreover, if the first fruit be holy, the mass is also holy; and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 Now, if some of the branches were broken off, and you who are a wild olive, are engrafted among them, and are become a joint partaker of the root and fatness of the olive;
18 boast not against the branches: but if you boast, still, you bear not the root, but the root you.
19 You will say, however, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 True: by unbelief they were broken off, and you by faith, stand. Be not high-minded, but fear.
21 For, if God spared not the natural branches; perhaps, neither will he spare you.
22 Behold, then, the goodness and severity of God! Toward them who fell, severity: but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise, you also shall be cut off.
23 And even they, if they continued not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
