Romans 11:4
World English Bible (WEB)
But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
In context
2 God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
