로마서 11장 19-20절

그러므로 "본래의 가지가 잘려 나간 것은, 그 자리에 내가 접붙임을 받게 하시려는 것이었다" 하고 그대는 말해야 할 것입니다. 옳습니다. 그 가지들이 잘린 것은 믿지 않은 탓이고, 그대가 그 자리에 붙어 있는 것은 믿었기 때문입니다. 그러니 교만한 마음을 품지 말고, 도리어 두려워하십시오. _새번역성경

すると， あなたは， 「枝が 切り去られたのは， わたしがつがれるためであった 」と 言うであろう．まさに， そのとおりである． 彼らは 不信仰のゆえに 切り去られ， あなたは 信仰のゆえに 立っているのである． 高ぶった 思いをいだかないで， むしろ 恐れなさい． _口語訳

You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith Do not be conceited, but fear;_NASB

It’s certainly possible to say, “Other branches were pruned so that I could be grafted in!” Well and good. But they were pruned because they were deadwood, no longer connected by belief and commitment to the root. The only reason you’re on the tree is because your graft “took” when you believed, and because you’re connected to that belief-nurturing root. So don’t get cocky and strut your branch. Be humbly mindful of the root that keeps you lithe and green._The Message
