In context
1 So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,
3 Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.
4 But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.
5 In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.
6 But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.
