Romerne 11,1

Jeg spør da: Har Gud forkastet sitt folk? Slett ikke! For jeg er også en israelitt, en etterkommer av Abraham, fra Benjamins stamme.

2 Gud har ikke forkastet sitt folk som Han forut kjente. Vet dere ikke hva Skriften sier i historien om Elia, hvordan han ba til Gud mot Israel?

3 "Herre, de har drept dine profeter og revet ned dine altere; jeg alene er igjen, og de søker å ta mitt liv."

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
