Romans 11:17

Read in context

Romans 11:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

16 If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

17 Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,

18 do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
