Romans 11:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ do not boast over against the branches! If you start to boast, remember that it is not you who support the root but the root that supports you.

¹⁹ You will assert, “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 hold your place only because of your faith. Therefore, do not rise up in pride but be filled with awe.
