Romans 11:13-24 - Gentile Branches Grafted In
13 For I address myself to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am indeed the apostle of the Gentiles, I exalt my ministry: 14 if by any means I might provoke to jealousy my flesh, and save some of them. 15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what shall their recovery be, but life from the dead? 16 Now if the first fruits be holy, so is the mass: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 But if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou though a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Wilt thou say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in? 20 Admitted; by unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: 21 for if God spared not the native branches, tremble lest he spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the kindness and severity of God: to those indeed who fell, severity; but unto thee, kindness, if thou continuest in that kindness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 But they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if thou hast been cut out of the naturally wild olive, and contrary to nature hast been grafted into the good olive: how much more shall these, which are native branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
