    16 And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

    17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

    18 Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

    21 For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

    22 See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

    23 And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

    24 For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

    25 For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

    29 Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

    30 For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

    31 So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.
