Romans 11:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 So I ask you, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not! I'm an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God hasn't rejected his people, whom he knew in advance. Or don't you know what the scripture says in the case of Elijah, when he pleads with God against Israel?

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

4 But what is God's reply to him? I have kept for myself seven thousand people who haven't bowed their knees to Baal.

5 So also in the present time there is a remaining group by the choice of God's grace.

6 But if it is by grace, it isn't by what's done anymore. If it were, God's grace wouldn't be grace.

New International Version NIV

1 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to 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 kill me” ?

4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
