Romans 11:20-22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
20 Well said! They were broken off by their unbelief, and you stand by your faith. Do not be thinking lofty[a] things, but be fearing[b]— 21 for if God did not spare the branches in accordance with nature, perhaps[c] neither will He spare you.
They Will Be Re-Grafted If They Believe
22 Therefore behold the kindness and severity of God— severity upon the ones having fallen, but the kindness of God upon you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

Romans 11:20-22
New International Version
20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.(A) Do not be arrogant,(B) but tremble.(C) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness(D) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(E) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(F)
