Romans 11:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 But what saith the answer of God to him? (A)I have [a]reserved unto myself seven thousand men, which have not bowed the knee to [b]Baal.
5 Even so then, at this present time is there a remnant according to the [c]election of grace.
6 [d]And if it be of grace, it is [e]no more of works: or else were grace no more grace: but if it be of works, it is no more grace: or else were work no more work.

- Romans 11:4 He speaketh of remnants and reserved people which were chosen from everlasting, and not of remnants that should be chosen afterward: for they are not chosen, because they were not idolaters, but therefore they were not idolaters, because they were chosen and elect.
- Romans 11:4 Baal signifieth as much as Master or patron, or one in whose power another is, which name the idolaters at this day give their idols, naming them patrons, and patronesses or Ladies.
- Romans 11:5 The election of grace, is not whereby men chose grace, but whereby God chose us of his grace and goodness.
- Romans 11:6 Although that all be not elect and chosen, yet let them that are elected, remember that they are freely chosen, and let them that stubbornly refuse the grace and free mercy of God, impute it unto themselves.
- Romans 11:6 This saying beateth down flat to the ground all the doctrine of all kinds and manner of works, whereby our justifiers of themselves do teach, that works are either wholly or partly the cause of our justification.
