BUT, The ESV in the Reformation Study Bible (and Bibleworks' ESV) reads:
Romans 11:20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe.

Has anyone else discovered any variations in the ESV?
Brother Nathan (and anyone else who's interested in variances in the ESV), I invite you to check out this sermon of Howard King's on "What's Wrong with the ESV?" - SermonAudio.com - What's Wrong with the ESV?.

Sums things up pretty nicely, I think.

Then compare just these other few verses: Colossians 1:14, 2 Corinthians 2:17, Luke 4:4, Isaiah 14:12-15 and Matthew 9:13 to a Textus Receptus-based version and see what you think. I, too, have no desire to get into a Bible versions dispute - but the KJV and the old Geneva Bibles are not Westcott-Hort progeny, and so... No, I need to stop right here...
