14If by any means I may prouoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might saue some of them. 15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world: what shal the receiuing of them be, but life from the dead? 16For if the first fruite bee holy, the lumpe is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17And if some of the branches bee broken off, and thou being a wilde oliue tree wert graffed in amongst them, and with them partakest of the roote and fatnesse of the Oliue tree: 18Boast not against the branches: but if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
