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.
22See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
23They also, if they don`t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
