Romans 11:18

do not glory over the branches. For if thou gloriest, thou sustainest not the root, but the root sustaineth thee.

James Murdock's Translation of the Syriac Peshitta

In The King James Version

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

In Context

19And shouldst thou say, The branches were plucked off, that I might be grafted into their place.
