Romans 11:20

Gentile Branches Grafted In

¹⁹ But you [Gentiles] will then say, "The branches were broken off so that we could be grafted in." ²⁰ True, but they [i.e., the Jews] were [really] broken off because they did not believe [in Christ], and you [Gentiles] remain [in God's favor] because you do believe [in Him]. So, do not become arrogant [about it], but be fearful. ²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches [i.e., the Jews], He will not spare you [Gentiles] either.
