Psalms 115:14
14 May the Lord agive you increase,you and your children!
Isaiah 65:23
23 bThey shall not labor in vaincor bear children for calamity, ▼
▼Or for sudden terror
for ethey shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,
and their descendants with them.
Acts 3:26
26 fGod, ghaving raised up his servant, sent him to you first, hto bless you iby turning every one of you from your wickedness.”Romans 11:16-24
16 jIf the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.17But if ksome of the branches were broken off, and you, lalthough a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root ▼
▼Greek root of richness; some manuscripts richness
of the olive tree, 18do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you nstand fast through faith. So odo not become proud, but pfear. 21For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, qprovided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise ryou too will be cut off. 23And seven they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
