“Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.”
King James Version (KJV)
11:17 Thou - O gentile. Being a wild olive tree - Had the graft been nobler than the stock, yet its dependance on it for life and nourishment would leave it no room to boast against it. How much less, when, contrary to what is practised among men, the wild olive tree is engrafted on the good!
11:18 Boast not against the branches - Do not they do this who despise the Jews? or deny their future conversion?
11:20 They were broken off for unbelief, and thou standest by faith - Both conditionally, not absolutely: if absolutely, there might have been room to boast. By faith - The free gift of God, which therefore ought to humble thee.
11:21 Be not highminded, but fear - We may observe, this fear is not opposed to trust, but to pride and security.
Ro 11:19 Thou wilt say. Perhaps the Gentile believer might boast over the Jews: "The Jewish branches were broken off, that we Gentiles might be grafted in. Is not this a preference of the Gentile"? It is not.
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might bee graffed in.
