Romans 11:4-6
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 But what is God’s reply to him? I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal!(A)
5 So too at the present time there is a remnant (a small believing minority), selected (chosen) by grace (by God’s unmerited favor and graciousness).
6 But if it is by grace (His unmerited favor and graciousness), it is no longer conditioned on works or anything men have done. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace [it would be meaningless].
