Romans 11:17–24

¹⁷And if ^bsome of the branches be broken off, and thou, ^cbeing a wild olive tree, wert graffed in amongst them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of ^dthe olive tree; ¹⁸boast not against the branches: but if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. ¹⁹Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. ²⁰Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou ^estandest by faith. ^eBe not high-minded, but ^ffear: ²¹for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. ²²Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, ^gif thou continue in his goodness: otherwise ^hthou also shalt be cut off. ²³And ⁱthey also, if they bide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. ²⁴For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
