John Chrysostom, on Rom 11:21

“For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.”

“"For if God spared not the natural branches," and then he does not say, neither will He spare thee," but "take heed, lest He also spare not thee." So paring away the distasteful from his statement, representing the believer as in the struggle, he at once draws the others to him, and humbles these also.”
