Romans 11:15-22

15For if their rejection is the 1reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but 2life from the dead? 16If the 3first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.

17But if some of the 4branches were broken off, and 5you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the 6rich root of the olive tree, 18do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that 7it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 198You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you 9stand by your faith. 10Do not be conceited, but fear; 21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s 11kindness, 12if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also 13will be cut off.
