Romans 11:4-6
New English Translation

4 But what was the divine response[a] to him? “I have kept for myself 7,000 people[b] who have not bent the knee to Baal.”[c]

5 So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Footnotes

  1. Romans 11:4 tn Grk “the revelation,” “the oracle.”
  2. Romans 11:4 tn The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anēr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it appears to be a generic usage (“people”) since when Paul speaks of a remnant of faithful Israelites (“the elect,” v. 7), he is not referring to males only. It can also be argued, however, that it refers only to adult males here (“men”), perhaps as representative of all the faithful left in Israel.
  3. Romans 11:4 sn A quotation from 1 Kgs 19:18.
