Romans 11:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 (A)[a]And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wild Olive tree, wast grafted in [b]for them, and made [c]partaker of the root and fatness of the Olive tree:
18 [d]Boast not thyself against the branches: and if thou boast thyself, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be grafted in.

- Romans 11:17 There is no cause why the Gentiles which have obtained mercy, should triumph over the Jews which condemn the grace of God, seeing they are grafted into the Jews’ ancestors. But let them rather take heed that that also be not found in them which is worthily condemned in the Jews. And hereof also this general doctrine may be gathered and taken, that we ought to be studious of God’s glory, even in respect of our neighbors: so far ought we to be from bragging and glorying, for that, that we are preferred before others by a singular grace.
- Romans 11:17 In place of those boughs which are broken off.
- Romans 11:17 It is against the common course of husbandry, that the barren juice of the imp is changed with the juice of the good tree.
- Romans 11:18 We may rejoice in the Lord, but so that we despise not the Jews, whom we ought rather to provoke to that good striving with us.
