Romans 11:17-22

17But if some of the 1branches were broken off, and 2you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the 3rich root of the olive tree,

18do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that 4it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

195You 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 6stand by your faith. 7Do 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 8kindness, 9if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also 10will be cut off.
