17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
17
If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
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.
