<p>11:18 <em>Do not boast over the broken branches, for you are but branches too. For if you boast, remember that it is not you that support the root, but the root supports you</em>- &quot;Supports&quot; is literally 'to carry' and is later used in Romans of the Lord Jesus bearing our sins on the cross (Rom. 15:1,2). Awareness that He carries our sins will remove all boasting against those who have fallen away or respond less to Him.&nbsp;</p>
