Well: by their want of faith, they have been broken out, - and, thou, by thy faith, dost stand! - Regard not lofty things, but be afraid; For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare! See, then, the kindness and the severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity, - but, upon thee, the kindness of God, if thou abide still in the kindness, - otherwise, thou also, shalt he cut out; Whereas, they also, unless they abide still in their want of faith, shall be grafted in, for God is, able, again to engraft them!

Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways! For who hath come to know the mind of the Lord? Or who hath become his counselor? Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be recompensed to him again? Because, of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things: - unto him, be the glory, unto the ages. Amen!
