Riverside(i)
15 if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their welcome back be but life from the dead?
16 If the first fruit was holy, so will the mass be; and if the root was holy, so will be the branches.
17 If some of the branches were broken off and you, who are a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a sharer in the root and rich sap of the olive,
18 do not exult over the branches. Even though you exult, it is not you who are supporting the root, but the root is supporting you.
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
20 Certainly, for lack of faith they were broken off, and you are standing by faith. Do not be proud, but be afraid.
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
22 See the kindness and the rigor of God, toward those who fell rigor, but toward you God's kindness, if you continue in his kindness, else you too will be cut off.
23 And they if they do not continue in their unbelief will be grafted in.
