Romans 11:2-4

International Standard Version

² God has not rejected his people whom he chose^[a] long ago. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story about Elijah,^[b] when he pleads with God against Israel? ³ “Lord, they have killed your prophets and demolished your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life.”^{[c] 4} But what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for myself 7,000 people who have not knelt to worship Baal.”^[d]
