Romans 11:1-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 I ask, then, has God rejected His people? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the Elijah section-how he pleads with God against Israel?

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

4 But what was God's reply to him? I have left 7,000 men for Myself who have not bowed down to Baal.

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

6 Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to 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.
