Romans 11:1 in context

The verses around it, from Romans 11.

1 I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says 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 seeking my life as well”?

4 And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

5 In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
