Romans 11:1-5 I say, then, has God cast off his people? By no means. For, even I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I say, then, has God cast off his people? By no means. For, even I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God has not cast off his people whom formerly he acknowledged. Do you not know, what the scripture says to Elijah; when he complains to God against Israel, saying, ³ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and have digged down thy altars, and I am let alone, and they seek my life?" ⁴ But what says the answer to God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." ⁵ So, then, even at this present time, there is a remnant according to an election by favor.
