Romans:11:4-6
rsv@Romans:11:4 @ But what is God's reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Ba'al."
rsv@Romans:11:5 @ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
rsv@Romans:11:6 @ But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
