‏ Romans 11:22

 The goodness and the severity of God ( χρηστοτητα κα αποτομιαν θεου ). See on Ro 2:2 for  χρηστοτης, kindness of God.  Αποτομια (here alone in the N.T.) is from  αποτομος, cut off, abrupt, and this adjective from  αποτεμνω, to cut off. This late word occurs several times in the papyri.

 If thou continue ( εαν επιμενηις ). Third class condition,  εαν and present active subjunctive.

 Otherwise ( επε ). Ellipse after  επε, "since if thou dost not continue."

 Thou also ( κα συ ). Precisely as the Jewish branches of verse 17 were.

 Shalt be cut off ( εκκοπηση ). Second future passive of  εκκοπτω, to cut out.
