Romans 11:17-31

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.

²⁴For if thou art cut down of the kindly wild olive tree, and against kind art set into a good olive tree, how much more they that be by kind, shall be set in their olive tree?

²⁵But, brethren, I will not, that ye not know this mystery, that ye be not wise to yourselves; for blindness hath fallen a part in Israel, till that the plenty of heathen men entered,

²⁶and so all Israel should be made safe. As it is written, He shall come of Zion, that shall deliver, and turn away the wickedness or unpiety of Jacob.

²⁷And this testament to them of me, when I shall do away their sins.

²⁸After the gospel they be enemies for you, but they be most dearworthy by or after the election for the fathers.

²⁹And the gifts and the calling of God be without repenting, or revoking.

³⁰And as sometime also ye believed not to God, but now ye have gotten mercy for the unbelief of them;

³¹so and these now believed not into your mercy, that also they get mercy.
