14To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.
15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?
16For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.
17And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.
18Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
