Romans 11:17
- But some of these branches from Abraham's tree, some of the Jews, have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, were grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in God's rich nourishment of his special olive tree.
- But you must be careful not to brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. Remember, you are just a branch, not the root.
- "Well," you may say, "those branches were broken off to make room for me."
- Yes, but remember--those branches, the Jews, were broken off because they didn't believe God, and you are there because you do believe. Don't think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen.
- For if God did not spare the branches he put there in the first place, he won't spare you either.
