nkjv Romans:11:16-24
nkjv@Romans:11:16 @ For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
nkjv@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
nkjv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
nkjv@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."
nkjv@Romans:11:20 @ Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
nkjv@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.
nkjv@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
nkjv@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
nkjv@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
