## Romans 11:2-7 in Context (Verses 1–10 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/romans/11/1) I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, *of* the tribe of Benjamin.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/romans/11/2) God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
 
 [3 ](/kjv/romans/11/3) Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/romans/11/4) But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to *the image of* Baal.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/romans/11/5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/romans/11/6) And if by grace, then *is it* no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if *it be* of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/romans/11/7) What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
 
 [8 ](/kjv/romans/11/8) (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/romans/11/9) And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/romans/11/10) Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
 
[Romans 10](/kjv/romans/10) [Romans 12](/kjv/romans/12)
