'Broken off' in the Bible

And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;

Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.

Beautifully; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith, Think not high things, but fear.
