Romans 11:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place and have come to share in the rich root of the olive tree,(A) 18 do not boast against the branches. If you do boast, consider that you do not support the root; the root supports you.(B) 19 Indeed you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
