17But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,
18Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.
19You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.
20Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;
21For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.
22See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.
23And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.
24For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?
25For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;
26And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:
27And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.
28As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.
29Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.
30For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,
31So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.
