For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
14If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
16For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
