Romans 11:17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 Now if some of the branches were broken off,(A) and you, though a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them(B) and have come to share in the rich root[a] of the cultivated olive tree, 18 do not brag that you are better than those branches. But if you do brag—you do not sustain the root, but the root sustains you.(C) 19 Then you will say,(D) “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

Romans 11:17-19
New International Version
17 If some of the branches have been broken off,(A) and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others(B) and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.(C) 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
