tcent@Romans:11:16 @ If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole lump is holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

tcent@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the rest to share the root of the olive tree,

tcent@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

tcent@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, »Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.«

tcent@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

tcent@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!
