Romans 11:21

Read in context

Romans 11:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

20 That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.

22 Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
