Romans 11:2-6

2 ^fGod has not rejected his people whom he ^gforeknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 ^h“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 But what is God’s reply to him? ⁱ“I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is ^ja remnant, chosen by grace. 6 ^kBut if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
