Romans 11:2-5

2God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah — how he pleads with God against Israel?

3Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life!

4But what was God’s answer to him? I have left seven thousand for myself who have not bowed down to Baal.

5In the same way, then, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace.
