Romans 11:18-20

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁸ But do not think that you are better than the tree's own branches. If you do, remember it is not you that holds the root in place. But it is the root that holds you.

¹⁹ Then you will say, `The branches were broken off so that I might be joined to the tree.'

²⁰ That is true. They were broken off because they did not believe. And you have your place only because you believe. So do not be proud, but fear.
