Romans 11:13-24 - Gentile Branches Grafted In
13 For to you who are Gentiles I say that since I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry, 14 if by any means I might "provoke to jealousy" my kinsmen, and save some among them. 15 For if their casting out is the reconciliation of the world to God, what will their restoration be but life out of death? 16 Now if the first-fruits of the dough Abraham and the Patriarchs are holy, so also is the whole mass their descendants. And if the root of a tree Abraham is holy, so also are the branches his descendants.
17 Supposing that some of the branches have been broken off, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among the branches and have become a partaker with them of the fatness of the olive tree, do not glory over the branches; 18 or if you are glorying, remember that it is not you who uphold the root, but the root which upholds you. 19 "Branches have been broken off," you say, "that I might be grafted in." 20 True, through their unbelief they were broken off, and by your faith you stand. Do not be puffed up, but fear; 21 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Fix your gaze, therefore, on the goodness and the severity of God; towards those who fell, severity, but towards you, God's goodness, if you continue stedfast in his goodness; otherwise you, too, will be cut off. 23 And they also those Jews, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in again; for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a mere wild olive tree, and have been grafted, contrary to nature, into a fruitful olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be regrafted into their own olive tree?
