Romans 11:19-27 Perhaps you may say, The branches were cut off that I might be grafted in their place.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ Perhaps you may say, The branches were cut off that I might be grafted in their place. ²⁰ Well; they were cut off because of their unbelief, but you exist by faith. Be not highminded, but fear God. ²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches, it may well be he will not spare you. ²² Consider therefore the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but on you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also will be cut off. ²³ And even they, if they do not abide in their unbelief, will be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if you who have been cut from the wild olive tree, which is natural to you, and grafted contrary to your nature to become a good olive tree: how much more fruitful would they be, if they were grafted into their natural olive tree? ²⁵ I am desirous, my brethren, that you should know this mystery, so that you may not be wise in your own conceits; for blindness of heart has to some degree befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in. ²⁶ And then all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, A deliverer shall come out of Zion, and he shall remove ungodliness from Jacob: ²⁷ And then they shall have the same covenant from me, when I have forgiven their sins.
