    17But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree,

    18do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

    19Then you will say, 'Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.'

    20That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

    21For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either.

    22Consider then the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell but kindness to you, provided you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

    23And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

    24For if you were cut off from a wild olive tree and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more easily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

    25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not become conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

    6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
