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.
