Romans 11:2 in Context — Romans 11

1 Então pergunto: por acaso Deus rejeitou seu povo? De maneira nenhuma! Pois também eu sou israelita, da descendência de Abraão, da tribo de Benjamim.

2 Deus não rejeitou seu povo, o qual desde antes conhecia. Ou não sabeis o que a Escritura diz de Elias? Como ele fala a Deus, contra Israel, dizendo:

3 “Senhor, mataram os teus profetas, e derrubaram os teus altares; só eu fiquei, e buscam tirar-me a vida.”

4 Mas o que lhe disse a divina resposta? “Reservei para mim sete mil homens que não dobraram os joelhos a Baal.”
