    19Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

    20Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

    21for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.

    22Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

    23And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

    24For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?

    25For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;

    26and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

    27And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.

    31even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.

    32For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
