Romans 11:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Israel's people are like the branches that God broke off. But you must not think that you are better than those branches. Remember that you are still only a branch. You do not make the root strong. No, it is the root that holds you up and makes you strong.

¹⁹ You might say, ‘God broke off the branches so that I could become part of the tree.’ ²⁰ That is true. God broke them off because they did not believe in Christ. God has accepted you as part of the tree because you do believe in Christ. So do not become proud. Instead, be afraid.
