Romans 11:14-26
14in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and athus save some of them. 15For if their rejection means bthe reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 cIf the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.17But if dsome of the branches were broken off, and you, ealthough 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 gstand fast through faith. So hdo not become proud, but ifear. 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, jprovided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise kyou too will be cut off. 23And leven 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.

he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
