Romans 11:2-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
2 God did not reject His people whom He foreknew!
There Is Still a Remnant Chosen By God
Or do you not know what the Scripture says in-connection-with[a] Elijah [in 1 Kings 19:14], how he appeals to God against Israel?— 3 “Lord, they killed Your prophets, they tore-down Your altars, and I alone was left, and they are seeking my life”. 4 But what does the divine-response say to him [in 1 Kings 19:18]?— “I left-remaining for Myself seven-thousand men[b] who did not bow a knee to Baal”. 5 In this manner then, there has come-to-be a remnant[c] also at the present time, according-to the choosing of grace.

New International Version
2 God did not reject his people,(A) whom he foreknew.(B) Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]?(C) 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b](D) 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant(E) chosen by grace.(F)
