Romans 11:17-25 ▼

17 And if certain 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 root and of the fatness of the olive tree—

18 do not boast against the branches; and if you boast, you do not bear the root, but the root you!

19 You will say, then, “The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in”; right!

20 By unbelief they were broken off, and you have stood by faith; do not be high-minded, but be fearing;

21 for if God did not spare the natural branches—lest perhaps He also will not spare you.

22 Behold, then, goodness and severity of God—on those indeed who fell, severity; and on you, goodness, if you may remain in the goodness, otherwise, you also will be cut off.

23 And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again;

24 for if you, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, were cut out, and contrary to nature, were grafted into a good olive tree, how much rather will they, who [are] according to nature, be grafted into their own olive tree?

25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of this secret—that you may not be wise in your own conceits—that hardness in part to Israel has happened until the fullness of the nations may come in;
