Romans 11:5
Compare all
3 a“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”?  
4 But what does the divine response say to him? a“I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”  
5 aEven so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.  
6 And aif by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.1 But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.  
7 What then? aIsrael has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were bblinded.  
8 Just as it is written:
a“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
bEyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”  
9 And David says:
a“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them. 
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”

Israel’s Rejection Not Final

11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But athrough their fall, to provoke them to bjealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.  
12 Now if their1 fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

Romans 11:5

Remnant (limma). Old word, but only here in N.T., but in papyri also and with this spelling rather than leimma. From leipw, to leave.

According to the election of grace (kat ekloghn xaritov). As in Romans 9:6-13. The election is all of God. Verse Romans 11:6 explains it further.
