¹⁷ But if ^(A)some of the branches were broken off, and you, ^(B)although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root^[a] of the olive tree,

¹⁹ Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” ²⁰ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you ^(A)stand fast through faith. So ^(B)do not become proud, but ^(C)fear.

³⁹ But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
