Romans 11:21 Context
19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might bee graffed in. 20Well: because of vnbeliefe they were broken off, and thou standest by fayth. Be not high minded, but feare. 21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heede least hee also spare not thee. 22Beholde therefore the goodnesse and seueritie of God: on them which fell, seueritie; but towards thee, goodnesse, if thou continue in his goodnesse: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23And they also, if they bide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
