Romans 11:16

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

and if the first-fruit `is' holy, the lump also; and if the root `is' holy, the branches also.

If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
