Romans 11:17-21 ▼

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,

18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast against them, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

20 Quite right! They were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be haughty, but fear,

21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.
