1 So I ask, God has not rejected his people, has he? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from 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 demolished your altars; I alone am left and they are seeking my life!| 4 But what was the divine response to him? |I have kept for myself seven thousand people who have not bent the knee to Baal.| Romans 11:1-4, New English Translation.
