Romans 11:22 Context
20Well: because of vnbeliefe they were broken off, and thou standest by fayth. 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. 23And they also, if they bide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe. 24For if thou wert cut out of the Oliue tree which is wilde by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good Oliue tree: how much more shall these which be the naturall branches, bee graffed into their owne Oliue tree?
