But if some of the ^(ab)branches were broken off, and ^(ac)you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the ^[h]rich root of the olive tree,

do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that ^(ad)it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

^(ae)You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you ^(af)stand by your faith. ^(ag)Do not be conceited, but fear;

for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.

Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's ^(ah)kindness, ^(ai)if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also ^(aj)will be cut off.
