Romans 11:1-6 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2
God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli'jah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
3
"Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have demolished thy altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life."
4
But what is God's reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Ba'al."
5
So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
6
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
