Romans 11:14-23

¹⁴if in any manner I stir my flesh for to follow, and that I make some of them safe.

¹⁵For if the loss of them is the reconciling of the world, what is the taking up of them, but life of dead men? or but life to dead?

¹⁶For if a little part of that that is tasted be holy, the whole gobbet is holy; and if the root is holy, also the branches.

¹⁷What if any of the branches be broken, when thou were a wild olive tree, art grafted or art set in among them, and art made fellow of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,

¹⁸do not thou have glory against the branches. For if thou gloriest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹Therefore thou sayest, The branches be broken, that I be grafted in or I be inset.

²⁰Well, for unbelief the branches be broken; but thou standest by faith. Do not thou understand or savour high things, but dread thou,

²¹for if God spared not the kindly branches, see thou lest peradventure he spare not thee.

²²Therefore see the goodness, and the fierceness of God; yea, the fierceness into them that fell down, but the goodness of God into thee, if thou dwellest in goodness, else also thou shalt be cut down.

²³Yea, and they shall be set in or shall be inset, if they dwell not in unbelief. For God is mighty, to set them in again.
