Romans:11:16-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For if the firstfruit be holy ,
the lump is also holy :
and if the root be holy ,
so are the branches .
*
And if some of the branches be broken off ,
and thou ,
being a wild olive tree ,
wert graffed in among them ,
and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree ;
*
Boast not against the branches .
But if thou boast ,
thou bearest not the root ,
but the root thee .
*
Thou wilt say then ,
The branches were broken off ,
that I might be graffed in .
*
Well ;
because of unbelief they were broken off ,
and thou standest by faith .
Be not highminded ,
but fear :
*
For if God spared not the natural branches ,
take heed lest he also spare not thee .
*
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God :
on them which fell ,
severity ;
but toward thee ,
goodness ,
if thou continue in his goodness :
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off .
*
And they also ,
if they abide not still in unbelief ,
shall be graffed in :
for God is able to graff them in again .
*
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature ,
and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree :
how much more shall these ,
which be the natural branches ,
be graffed into their own olive tree ?
*
For I would not ,
brethren ,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery ,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits ;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel ,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in .
