In Context

1 I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in the history of Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I have been left alone, and they seek my life.

4 But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.

5 Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.

6 But if by grace, no longer of works: since otherwise grace is no more grace.
