Romans 11:20
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Well {G2573}; because of unbelief {G570} they were broken off {G1575}, and {G1161} thou {G4771} standest {G2476} by faith {G4102}. Be {G5309} not {G3361} highminded {G5309}, but {G235} fear {G5399}:
True, but so what? They were broken off because of their lack of trust. However, you keep your place only because of your trust. So don’t be arrogant; on the contrary, be terrified!
That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
