Romans 11:4

Read in context

Romans 11:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:

3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?

4 And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

5 In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

6 And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
