Romans 11:1

Verse 1 of 36. The 11th of 16 chapters in Romans, in The Letters of Paul.

1I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

3“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”

4But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

5Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
