'Branches' in the Bible

If the first portion of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches.

Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root,

do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

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

For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you.

For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree?
