• John 15:2
He cuts off every Branch in me that bears no fruit, while every Branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

• Romans 11:11
[ Ingrafted Branches ] Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.

• Romans 11:16
If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the Branches.

• Romans 11:17
If some of the Branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,

• Romans 11:18
do not consider yourself to be superior to those other Branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

• Romans 11:19

After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural Branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

Transgression is the fall, it has to be holy, nourished from the vine, by being humbled, fearing, not superior, ( to those who have already fallen by the same way)

The branches were cut off to graft in holiness, non transgression, humility.

The natural branches could be grafted in again, but now the tree is holy, undefiled, meek lowly and righteous.
