    18do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

    19Then you will say,“The branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

    20Granted! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear!

    21For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you.

    22Notice therefore the kindness and harshness of God– harshness toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness toward you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

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

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

    25For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
