Romans 11:13-24

13But I am speakingG3004 to you who are GentilesG1484. ThereforeG3767 insofarG1909G3745 as 1I amG1510 an apostleG652 of GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 my ministryG1248 14ifG1487 somehowG4458 I may 2moveG3863 3my 4ownG4561 peopleG4561 toG3863 jealousyG3863 and 5saveG4982 someG5100 of them. 15For ifG1487 their rejectionG580 proves to be the 6reconciliationG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 will their acceptanceG4356 be but 7lifeG2222 from the deadG3498? 16IfG1487 the 8firstG536 pieceG536 of dough is holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532; and ifG1487 the rootG4491 is holyG40, the branchesG2798 are asG2532 wellG2532.

17But ifG1487 someG5100 of the 9branchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575, and 10you, beingG1510 a wildG65 oliveG65, were graftedG1461 inG1461 amongG1722 them and becameG1096 partakerG4791 with them of the 11richG4096 rootG4491 of the oliveG1636 treeG1636, 18do not be arrogantG2620 towardG2620 the branchesG2798; but ifG1487 you are arrogantG2620, remember that 12it is not you who supportsG941 the rootG4491, but the rootG4491 supports you. 1913You will sayG3004 thenG3767, “BranchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575 soG2443 thatG2443 I might be graftedG1461 inG1461.” 20QuiteG2573 rightG2573, they were brokenG1575 offG1575 for their unbeliefG570, but you 14standG2476 by your faithG4102. 15Do not beG5426 conceitedG5426G5308, but fearG5399; 21for ifG1487 GodG2316 did not spareG5339 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798, He will not spareG5339 you, eitherG3761. 22SeeG3708 thenG3767 the kindnessG5544 and severityG663 of GodG2316: to thoseG3588 who fellG4098, severityG663, but to you, God’sG2316 16kindnessG5544, 17ifG1437 you continueG1961 in His kindnessG5544; forG1893 otherwiseG1893 you tooG2532 18will be cutG1581 offG1581. 23And they alsoG2548, 19ifG1437 they do not continueG1961 in their unbeliefG570, will be graftedG1461 inG1461; for GodG2316 is ableG1415 to graftG1461 them inG1461 againG3825. 24For ifG1437 you were cutG1581 offG1581 from whatG65 is by natureG5449 a wildG65 oliveG65 treeG65, and contraryG3844 to natureG5449 were graftedG1461 into a cultivatedG2565 oliveG2565 treeG2565, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will theseG3778 whoG3588 are the naturalG2596G5449 branches be graftedG1461 into their ownG2398 oliveG1636 treeG1636?
