Romans 11:2-5
2 God has not rejected His [chosen] people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?(A)
3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets, they have torn down Your altars, and I alone am left [of the prophets], and they are seeking my life.”
4 But what is God’s response to him? “I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”(B)
5 So too then, at the present time there has come to be a remnant [a small believing minority] according to God’s gracious choice.
