上帝且不惜原枝、亦必不惜爾也、

亦宜戒懼、勿自高其心、上帝且不惜本然之枝、何有於爾、

天主既不惜本然之枝、恐亦不惜爾、

蓋天主且不恤其原有之枝、更將何恤於爾？

God did not spare angels when they sinned. Instead, he sent them to hell. He chained them up in dark prisons. He will keep them there until he judges them.God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.God judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them to ashes. He made them an example of what is going to happen to ungodly people.God saved Lot, a man who did what was right. Lot was shocked by the evil conduct of people who didn’t obey God’s laws.That good man lived among them day after day. He saw and heard the evil things they were doing. They were breaking God’s laws. And the godly spirit of Lot was deeply troubled.Since all this is true, then the Lord knows how to save godly people. He knows how to keep them safe in times of testing. The Lord also knows how to keep ungodly people under guard. He will do so until the day they will be judged and punished.

God did not spare his own Son. He gave him up for us all. Then won’t he also freely give us everything else?

I want to remind you about some things you already know. The Lord saved his people. At one time he brought them out of Egypt. But later he destroyed those who did not believe.

I am beginning to bring trouble on the city where I have put my Name. You might think you will not be punished. But you will certainly be punished. I am sending war against everyone who lives on earth,” announces the Lord who rules over all.’

Brothers and sisters, I want you to know something about our people who lived long ago. They were all led by the cloud. They all walked through the Red Sea.They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.They all ate the same spiritual food.They all drank the same spiritual water. They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them. That rock was Christ.But God was not pleased with most of them. Their bodies were scattered in the desert.Now those things happened as examples for us. They are supposed to keep us from wanting evil things. The people of Israel wanted these evil things.So don’t worship statues of gods, as some of them did. It is written,“ The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up to dance wildly in front of their god.”( Exodus 32:6)We should not commit sexual sins, as some of them did. In one day 23,000 of them died.We should not test the Messiah, as some of them did. They were killed by snakes.Don’t speak against God. That’s what some of the people of Israel did. And they were killed by the destroying angel.Those things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us. That’s because we are living at the time when God’s work is being completed.So be careful. When you think you are standing firm, you might fall.

Some of the natural branches have been broken off. You are a wild olive branch. But you have been joined to the tree with the other branches. Now you enjoy the life- giving sap of the olive tree root.

The Lord says,“ What if those who do not have to drink the cup must drink it anyway? Then shouldn’t you be punished? You will certainly be punished. You must drink the cup.

You will say,“ Some branches were broken off so that I could be joined to the tree.”
