Romans 11:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Their Branches Were Broken Off By Unbelief And You Were Grafted In By Faith
16 But[a] if the firstfruit[b] is holy, the lump is also. And if the root is holy, the branches are also. 17 Now if some of the branches were broken-off [c] and you[d], being a wild-olive-tree, were grafted-in among them and became a co-partner[e] of the root, of the fatness[f] of the olive tree, 18 do not be vaunting[g] over the branches. But if you vaunt, [remember] you are not carrying the root, but the root you.
