Romans 11:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 [a]And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wast cut out of the Olive tree, which was wild by [b]nature, and was grafted contrary to nature in a [c]right Olive tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, be grafted in their own Olive tree?
25 [d]For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (lest ye should be arrogant in [e]yourselves) that partly obstinacy is come to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be [f]come in.
