Do not say, "You were cut off. I was grafted in."

20 It is true that:

A. They were cut off because of unbelief.

B. You were grafted in because of your faith.

Do not be high-minded. Learn to fear.

21 THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT:

If God would cut off the natural branches that did not believe, He could cut you Gentiles off for the same reason.

22 God is both Good and Severe.

On those who fall - God is severe. On those who believe - God is good -- IF -- you continue. You can be cut off.
