Romans 11:2–5

2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew.ap Or don’t you knowaq what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he pleads with God against Israel? 3 Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life!C,ar 4 But what was God’s answer to him? I have left seven thousand for myself who have not bowed down to Baal.D,as 5 In the same way, then, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace.a
