And if the first fruit is holy, the branch is also. And if the root is holy, the branches are also.

And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree,

do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do not bear the root, but the root thee.

Thou will therefore say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.

for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee.
