Romans 11:13-24 - Gentile Branches Grafted In
13 I speak to you gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles I will magnify mine office 14 that I might provoke them which are my flesh: and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them, be the reconciling of the world: what shall the receiving of them be, but life again from death? 16 For if one piece be holy, the whole heap is holy. And if the root be holy, the branches are holy also.
17 Though some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, art graft in among them, and made partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 boast not thyself against the branches. For if thou boast thyself, remember that thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, "The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in." 20 Thou sayest well: because of unbelief they are broken off, and thou standest steadfast in faith. Be not high minded, but fear: 21 seeing that God spared not the natural branches, lest haply he also spare not thee. 22 Behold the kindness and rigorousness of God: on them which fell, rigorousness: but towards thee, kindness; if thou continue in his kindness. Or else thou shalt be hewn off, 23 and they if they bide not still in unbelief shall be grafted in again. For God is of power to graft them in again. 24 For if thou wast cut out of a natural wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature in a true olive tree: how much more shall the natural branches be graffed in their own olive tree again?
