Romans 11:16-25

16IfG1487 the 1firstG536 pieceG536 of dough is holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532; and ifG1487 the rootG4491 is holyG40, the branchesG2798 are tooG2532.

17But ifG1487 someG5100 of the 2branchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575, and 3you, beingG1510 a wildG65 oliveG65, were graftedG1461 in amongG1722 them and becameG1096 partakerG4791 with them of the 4richG4096 rootG4491 of the oliveG1636 treeG1636, 18do not be arrogantG2620 towardG2620 the branchesG2798; but ifG1487 you are arrogantG2620, remember that 5it is not you who supportsG941 the rootG4491, but the rootG4491 supports you. 196You will sayG3004 thenG3767, “BranchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575 soG2443 that I might be graftedG1461 in.” 20QuiteG2573 rightG2573, they were brokenG1575 offG1575 for their unbeliefG570, but you 7standG2476 by your faithG4102. 8Do not be conceitedG5426G5308, but fearG5399; 21for ifG1487 GodG2316 did not spareG5339 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798, He will not spareG5339 you, eitherG3761. 22BeholdG3708 thenG3767 the kindnessG5544 and severityG663 of GodG2316; to thoseG3588 who fellG4098, severityG663, but to you, God’sG2316 9kindnessG5544, 10ifG1437 you continueG1961 in His kindnessG5544; otherwiseG1893 you alsoG2532 11will be cutG1581 offG1581. 23And they alsoG2548, 12ifG1437 they do not continueG1961 in their unbeliefG570, will be graftedG1461 in, for GodG2316 is ableG1415 to graftG1461 them in againG3825. 24For ifG1437 you were cutG1581 offG1581 from whatG65 is by natureG5449 a wildG65 oliveG65 treeG65, and were graftedG1461 contraryG3844 to natureG5449 into a cultivatedG2565 oliveG2565 treeG2565, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will theseG3778 whoG3588 are the naturalG2596G5449 branches be graftedG1461 into their ownG2398 oliveG1636 treeG1636?

25For 13I do not wantG2309 you, brethrenG80, to be uninformedG50 of thisG3778 14mysteryG3466--soG2443G3361 that you will not be 15wiseG5429 in your ownG1438 estimationG1438--that a partialG3313 16hardeningG4457 has happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474 untilG891 the 17fullnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 has comeG1525 in;
