Romans 11:13-24 - Gentile Branches Grafted In

¹³ But I am speaking to you gentiles. Inasmuch, indeed, then, as I am an apostle of the gentiles, I glorify my ministry; ¹⁴ if by any means I may excite to rivalry my flesh, and save some of them. ¹⁵ For, if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? ¹⁶ And, if the first-fruit is holy, so also is the lump; and, if the root is holy, so also are the branches.

¹⁷ And, if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became a joint-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the Olive tree; ¹⁸ boast not against the branches. But, if you boast, it is not you that bear the root; but the root, you. ¹⁹ You will say, then, "The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." ²⁰ Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, but you have been standing by faith. Do not cherish lofty thoughts; but fear. ²¹ For, if God spared not the natural branches, neither will He spare you. ²² Behold, then, God's kindness and severity; toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise, you also shall be cut off. ²³ And they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For, 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 shall these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
