Romans 11:18

do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.
Romans 11:16-18 The Message (MSG)
Behind and underneath all this there is a holy, God-planted, God-tended root. If the primary root of the tree is holy, there’s bound to be some holy fruit. Some of the tree’s branches were pruned and you wild olive shoots were grafted in. Yet the fact that you are now fed by that rich and holy root gives you no cause to gloat over the pruned branches. Remember, you aren’t feeding the root; the root is feeding you.
Romans 11:18 King James Version (KJV)
boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
