15For if the rejection of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what would the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17But 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 root of the richness of the olive tree;
18don`t boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who bear the root, but the root you.
19You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
20True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don`t be conceited, but fear;
21for if God didn`t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
