17 But some of the olive branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive branch, have been grafted in their place. You get your nourishment from the roots of the olive tree. 18 So don't brag about being better than the other branches. If you brag, remember that you don't support the root, the root supports you. 19 |Well,| you say, |Branches were cut off so that I could be grafted onto the tree.| 20 That's right! They were broken off because they didn't believe, but you remain on the tree because you do believe. Don't feel arrogant, but be afraid. 21 If God didn't spare the natural branches, he won't spare you, either. Romans 11:17-21, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
