- 神既不爱惜原来的枝子,也必不爱惜你。
- 可见神的恩慈,和严厉。向那跌倒的人,是严厉的。向你是有恩慈的,只要你长久在他的恩慈里。不然,你也要被砍下来。
- 而且他们若不是长久不信,仍要被接上。因为神能够把他们从新接上。
- 你是从那天生的野橄榄上砍下来的,尚且逆着性得接在好橄榄上,何况这本树的枝子,要接在本树上呢。
- 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不知道这奥秘,(恐怕你们自以为聪明)就是以色列人有几分是硬心的,等到外邦人的数目添满了。

- For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
- Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
- And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
- After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
- I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
