Romans 11:16-18 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

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

¹⁷Now 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,

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