Romans 11:16
NASB
Rom 11:16
&
If the first piece {of dough} is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.
Rom 11:17
&
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,
Rom 11:18
&
do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, {remember that} it is not you who supports the root, but the root {supports} you.
Rom 11:19
&
You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
Rom 11:20
&
Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
Rom 11:21
&
for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.
Rom 11:22
&
Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Rom 11:23
&
And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Rom 11:24
&
For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural {branches} be grafted into their own olive tree?
