Romans 11:2-5

2God 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!”

4But what was the divine response to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand people who have not bent the knee to Baal.”

5So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
