    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.

    31so they too have now been disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you.

    32For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that He may have mercy on them all.

    29And just as Isaiah said previously: 'Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah.'
