New American Standard Bible
17 But if some of the (A)branches were broken off, and (B)you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the [a]rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that (C)it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 19 (D)You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

English Standard Version
17 But if (A)some of the branches were broken off, and you, (B)although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[a] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
