Romans 11:16-18

16If the first portion of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches.

17Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root,

18do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
