But if some branches were broken off This phrase introduces the metaphor of the olive tree, a common symbol in Scripture representing Israel (Jeremiah 11:16, Hosea 14:6). The "branches" refer to the Jewish people who did not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. The Greek word for "broken off" is "ekklaō," which implies a deliberate act of removal. Historically, this reflects the reality that not all of Israel accepted Christ, leading to a temporary setting aside of some in God's redemptive plan. This is not a permanent rejection but a part of God's sovereign plan to extend salvation to the Gentiles. and you, a wild olive shoot were grafted in among them to share in the nourishment of the olive root (17) And.--Rather, but. Among them--i.e., among the branches of the olive-tree generally, both those which are broken off and those which are suffered to remain. This seems on the whole the more probable view; it would be possible to translate the words, in place of them (the branches broken off). Partakest of the root and fatness.--The meaning of this is sufficiently obvious as it stands. If, as perhaps is probable, we ought to drop the second "and," reading, "of the root of the fatness," the sense is that the rich flow of sap in which the wild olive par-takes does not belong to the wild olive itself, but is all drawn from the root. The evidence for the omission of the second "and" is that of the Vatican, Sinaitic, and rescript Paris manuscript--a strong combination. Verses 17, 18. - But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree (i.e. of the stock of a wild olive tree; cf. ch. Romans 11:24) wast grafted in among them, and wast made partaker with them of the root and the fatness of the olive tree, boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. In thus addressing the Gentile in the second person singular, the apostle brings his warning home to any individual Gentile Christian who might be inclined to boast; though regarding him still as representing Gentile believers generally. They are compared to slips of the wild olive tree (ἡ ἀγριέλαιος, oleaster), which was unproductive (cf. "Infelix superat foliis oleaster amaris"), acquiring richness and fertility by being grafted into the cultivated tree (ἡ καλλιέλαιος, oleo). Whether or not such a reversal of the usual system of grafting would have the imagined effect does not matter, as long as the illustration serves St. Paul's purpose well, and helps us to grasp, his conception.
