17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a fellow partaker of the fatness of the root of the olive tree, 18 do not boast over the branches. But if you boast over them, you do not support the root, but the root you. 19 You will say, then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 Rightly so: They were broken off by unbelief, but you have stood by faith. Do not be high-minded, but be afraid. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He will not spare you. 22 Behold, therefore, the kindness and severity of God: severity indeed upon those having fallen, but kindness of God upon you, if you continue in the kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And even those, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off out of the naturally wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural, be grafted into their own olive tree! 25 For I do not want you? to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you? may not be wise in yourselves: A hardening in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles may come in.
