This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Boast not against the - rejected
branches. But if thou - “do”
boast - remember that
thou bearest not - “it is not thou that bearest”
the root, but the root thee - “If the branches may not boast over the root that bears them, then may not the Gentile boast over the seed of Abraham; for what is thy standing, O Gentile, in relation to Israel, but that of a branch in relation to the root? From Israel hath come all that thou art and hast in the family of God; for “salvation is of the Jews” (Joh 4:22).
