Romans 11:16 Now since (or: But if) the Firstfruit is holy (set-apart and consecrated; sacred), the kneaded mixture (the result of the lump which is mingled and reduced to a uniform consistency by treading, kneading or beating) also is; and since (or: if) the Root is holy (set-apart, sacred, different from the norm), so also are the branches (the shoots; the boughs).
