Romans 11:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ For if the firstfruits are holy, so is the whole lump. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.

¹⁷ And though some of the branches are broken off, and you (being a wild olive tree) were grafted in among them, and made a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

¹⁸ do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
