- a remnant:
- "Should we againª° breakª° thy commandments,ª and join in affinityª° with the peopleª of these¹ abominations?ª wouldest not¹ thou be angryª° with us till¹ thou hadst consumedª° [us], so that [there should be] no¹ remnantª nor escaping?ª" {Ezr 9:14} + "It may beª the LORDª thy Godª will hearª°¹ all¹ the wordsª of Rabshakeh,ª whom¹ the kingª of Assyriaª his masterª hath sentª° to reproachª° the livingª God;ª and will reproveª° the wordsª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath heard:ª° wherefore lift upª° [thy] prayerª for¹ the remnantª that are left.ª°" {2Kg 19:4} + "And the remnantª° that is escapedª of the houseª of Judahª shall yet againª° take rootª downward,ª and bearª° fruitª upward.ª ... For¹ out of Jerusalemª¹ shall go forthª° a remnant,ª and they that escapeª out of mountª¹ Zion:ª the zealª of the LORDª [of hosts]°² shall doª° this.¹" {2Kg 19:30-31} + "Exceptª the LORDª of hostsª had leftª° unto us a very smallª remnant,ª we should have beenª° as Sodom,ª [and] we should have been likeª° unto Gomorrah.ª" {Isa 1:9} + "And saidª° unto¹ Jeremiahª the prophet,ª Let, we beseech thee,¹ our supplicationª be acceptedª° beforeª thee, and prayª° for¹ us unto¹ the LORDª thy God,ª [even] for¹ all¹ this¹ remnant;ª (for¹ we are leftª° [but] a fewª of many,ª°¹ as¹ thine eyesª do beholdª° us:)" {Jer 42:2} + "So that none¹ of the remnantª of Judah,ª which are goneª° into the landª of Egyptª to sojournª° there,¹ shall¹ escapeª or remain,ª that they should returnª° into the landª of Judah,ª to the which¹ they¹ have²° a desireª¹¹ to returnª° to dwellª° there:¹ for¹ none¹ shall returnª° but¹¹ such as shall escape.²¹" {Jer 44:14} + "Yet will I leave a remnant,ª° that ye may have¹ [some] that shall escapeª the swordª among the nations,ª when ye shall be scatteredª° through the countries.ª ... And they that escapeª of you shall rememberª° me among the nationsª whither¹¹ they shall be carried captives,ª° because¹ I am brokenª° with¹ their whorishª° heart,ª which¹ hath departedª° from¹¹ me, and with¹ their eyes,ª which go a whoringª° afterª their idols:ª and they shall lotheª° themselvesª for¹ the evilsª which¹ they have committedª° in all¹ their abominations.ª" {Ezk 6:8-9} + "Yet, behold,¹ therein shall be leftª° a remnantª that shall be brought forth,ª° [both] sonsª and daughters:ª behold,¹ they shall come forthª° unto¹ you, and ye shall seeª°¹ their wayª and their doings:ª and ye shall be comfortedª° concerning¹ the evilª that¹ I have broughtª° upon¹ Jerusalem,ª [even] concerning¹ all¹ that¹ I have broughtª° upon¹ it." {Ezk 14:22} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª If¹ it be marvellousª° in the eyesª of the remnantª of this¹ peopleª in these¹ days,ª should it also¹ be marvellousª° in mine eyes?ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Zch 8:6} + "For¹ the seedª [shall be] prosperous;ª the vineª shall giveª° her fruit,ª and the groundª shall giveª°¹ her increase,ª and the heavensª shall giveª° their dew;ª and I will cause¹ the remnantª of this¹ peopleª to possessª°¹ all¹ these¹ [things]." {Zch 8:12} + "Esaiasª alsoª criethª° concerningª Israel,ª Thoughª the¹ numberª of the¹ childrenª of Israelª beª° asª the¹ sandª of the¹ sea,ª a remnantª shall be saved:ª°" {Rom 9:27} + "Even soª thenª atª this presentª timeª alsoª there isª° a remnantª accordingª to the electionª of grace.ª ... Andª ifª by grace,ª then [is it] no moreª² ofª works:ª otherwiseª graceª isª° no moreª² grace.ª Butª ifª [it be] ofª works,ª then is¹ it²° no moreª² grace:ª otherwiseª workª isª° no moreª² work.ª" {Rom 11:5-6}
