Romans 11:2-5

The Remnant of Israel

2 j God has not rejected his people whom he k foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 l "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life." 4 But what is God's reply to him? m "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." 5 So too at the present time there is n a remnant, chosen by grace.
