But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also.

And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;

boast not against the branches: but if you boast, you are not bearing the root, but the root you.

Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.

For if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

For if you, having been cut off the olive tree which is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
