16 For if (B)the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if (C)some of the branches were broken off, (D)and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and [a]fatness of the olive tree, 18 (E)do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, [b]goodness, (G)if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise (H)you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, (I)if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
