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.
