16 For if the firstfruits be holy, so is the whole
lump: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And though some of the branches be broken
off, and thou being a wild Olive tree, wast grafted
in for them, and made partaker of the root and
fatness of the Olive tree:
18 Boast not thyself against the branches: and
if thou boast thyself, thou bearest not the root, but
the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken
off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well: through unbelief they are broken off,
and thou standest by faith: be not high-minded,
but fear.
21 For if God spared not the natural branches,
take heed, lest he also spare not thee.
