Romans 11:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ So do not brag about those branches that were broken off. If you brag, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. ¹⁹ You will say, “Branches were broken off so that I could be joined to their tree.” ²⁰ That is true. But those branches were broken off because they did not believe, and you continue to be part of the tree only because you believe. Do not be proud, but be afraid.
