## Romans 11:19-20 in Context (Verses 16–23 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/romans/11/16) For if the firstfruit *be* holy, the lump *is* also *holy*: and if the root *be* holy, so *are* the branches.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/romans/11/17) And 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;
 
 [18 ](/kjv/romans/11/18) Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/romans/11/19) Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/romans/11/20) Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
 
 [21 ](/kjv/romans/11/21) For if God spared not the natural branches, *take heed* lest he also spare not thee.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/romans/11/22) Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in *his* goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/romans/11/23) And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
 
[Romans 10](/kjv/romans/10) [Romans 12](/kjv/romans/12)
