Romans 11:18

μὴ κατακαυχῶ τῶν κλάδων· εἰ δὲ κατακαυχᾶσαι, οὐ σὺ τὴν ῥίζαν βαστάζεις, ἀλλ' ἡ ῥίζα σέ.
mē katakaychō tōn kladōn· ei de katakaychasai, oy sy tēn rizan bastazeis, all' ē riza se.
King James Version (KJV)

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

Modern English

do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
