Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, **3** “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? **4** But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” **5** Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
