NASB
"If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too."
— Romans 11:16, NASB
“For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.”
“And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches. ”
“If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.”
“If the first portion of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches.”
“For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.”
“And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.”
“For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.”
But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,
do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.
You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
