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. 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.
