18 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.

18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.

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

18 But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.

18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

18 So do not brag about those branches that were broken off. If you brag, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

18 glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.

18 boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, it is not thou bearest the root, but the root thee.

18 So don’t brag about being better than the other branches. If you brag, remember that you don’t support the root, the root supports you.

18 do not brag that you are better than those branches. But if you do brag—you do not sustain the root, but the root sustains you.

18 do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you.

18 do not boast against the branches. But if you boast against them, you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

18 So don’t think you are better than the other branches. Remember, you don’t give life to the root. The root gives life to you.
