""Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.""
— Romans 11:3, World English Bible
“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. ”
““Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars; I alone am left and they are seeking my life!””
“Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars. And I am left alone: and they seek my life.”
“Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.”
“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
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.
