Romans 11:14-23

¹⁴if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

¹⁵For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

¹⁶If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

¹⁷But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in amongst them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,

¹⁸don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

²⁰True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

²¹for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

²²See then the goodness and severity of God. Towards those who fell, severity; but towards you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

²³They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
