Romans 11:17-21

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.” ²⁰ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you ^(C)stand fast through faith. So ^(D)do not become proud, but ^(E)fear. ²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
