Romans 11:1-2

The Remnant of Israel

1I ask, then, yhas God rejected his people? By no means! For zI myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,
Or one of the offspring of Abraham
a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 abGod has not rejected his people whom he acforeknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
