and if.
 The "firstfruit" is the remnant of Jewish believers at the present time who have believed the gospel. They have "pre-trusted" in Christ and are the first-fruits of the nation that will be saved in the future (vs. 5; Eph. 1:12). (The Stumbling of Israel–Opening the Way for Blessing to Go Out to the Gentiles, and the Gentile's Rejection of Grace–Preparing the Way for Israel's Restoration: Romans 11 by B. Anstey)
 The "root" is an allusion to Abraham, the father of the nation, who was set apart in a place of "holy" association with God (Isa. 51:2). Sanctification has the same root meaning as holiness, and means to be set apart in a holy place. (The Stumbling of Israel–Opening the Way for Blessing to Go Out to the Gentiles, and the Gentile's Rejection of Grace–Preparing the Way for Israel's Restoration: Romans 11 by B. Anstey)
 Here, in this 16th verse, it is relative sanctification, resulting from a person's outward association with something holy. (The Stumbling of Israel–Opening the Way for Blessing to Go Out to the Gentiles, and the Gentile's Rejection of Grace–Preparing the Way for Israel's Restoration: Romans 11 by B. Anstey)
