    17But 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;

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

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

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

    21for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

    22See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

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

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

    25For I don't desire, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
