For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

Επειδη εαν συ απεκοπης απο της φυσικης αγριελαιας και παρα φυσιν ενεκεντρισθης εις καλλιελαιαν, ποσω μαλλον ουτοι οι φυσικοι θελουσιν εγκεντρισθη εις την ιδιαν αυτων ελαιαν.

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
