Romans 11:1-4 ▼

1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Of course not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life.”

4 But what is God’s response to him? “I have left for myself seven thousand men who have not knelt to Baal.”
