¹⁷ And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree, ¹⁸ do not boast against the branches.

They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by thy faith. Be not high-minded but fear, ²¹ for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee. ²² Behold therefore the goodness and the severity of God. Indeed toward those who fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou too will be cut off. ²³ And also those, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.
