Romans 11:1-6 ▼

1 I say then, did God thrust away His people? Never may it be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God did not thrust away His people, whom He foreknew. Or do you? not know what the Scripture says in Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel:

3 “Lord, they killed Your prophets, they tore down Your altars, and I alone was left, and they seek my life”?

4 But what does the divine answer say to him? “I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow the knee to Baal.”

5 So then also in the present time, there has been a remnant according to the election of grace,

6 and if by grace, no longer out of works; otherwise grace no longer is grace.
