Audio commentary on this verse
Note 2 at Rom. 11:18: Paul is warning the Gentiles against gloating in the fact that salvation had now been opened unto them as though it happened because of some goodness on their part. It wasn't earned. It was God's grace. Paul explains that the Jews' unbelief (v. 20) caused them to be broken off and that the same thing could happen to the Gentiles (v. 21) if they didn't stand strong through faith.
