Romans 11:17

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

So imagine some branches got broken off the tree, and you — even though you were just a wild olive branch — got grafted right in with the others. Now you're sharing the same roots and getting all the good nutrients from that strong olive tree.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You weren't originally part of the family tree, but God grafted you in anyway — now you belong just as much as anyone else.
