    17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree;

    18 don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

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

    20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;

    23 They also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
