In context
1 I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid! For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias, how he calleth on God against Israel?
3 Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars. And I am left alone: and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
5 Even so then, at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
7 What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded.
