    19You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.

    20Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.

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

    22Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

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

    24For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

    32For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
