    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.

    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.
