Romans 11:16
King James Version
“For if the firstfruit holy, the lump also and if the root holy, so the branches.”
Context
13For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14If by any means I may provoke to emulation my flesh, and might save some of them.
15For if the casting away of them the reconciling of the world, what the receiving but life from the dead?
16For if the firstfruit holy, the lump also and if the root holy, so the branches.
17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
