The Greek word used here, "οὕτως" (houtōs), implies a continuation or similarity to what has been previously mentioned. Paul is drawing a parallel between the remnant of Israel in Elijah's time and the present remnant. This highlights the consistency of God's plan throughout history, emphasizing that God's methods and purposes remain unchanged.<p><b>at the present time</b><br />The phrase "at the present time" underscores the immediacy and relevance of God's actions. The Greek "ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ" (en tō nyn kairō) suggests a specific, divinely appointed moment. Paul is addressing the believers in Rome, reminding them that God's work is ongoing and pertinent to their current situation. This serves as a reminder that God's plans are not just historical but are actively unfolding in the present.<p><b>there is a remnant</b><br />The concept of a "remnant" is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where it often refers to a small, faithful group preserved by God amidst widespread unfaithfulness. The Greek word "λεῖμμα" (leimma) signifies what is left or remains. This idea reassures believers that God always preserves a faithful group, even when it seems like faithfulness has vanished. It is a testament to God's sovereignty and faithfulness in maintaining His covenant people.<p><b>chosen by grace</b><br />This phrase encapsulates the doctrine of divine election. The Greek "κατ᾽ ἐκλογὴν χάριτος" (kat' eklogēn charitos) combines the concepts of selection and unmerited favor. "Chosen" (ἐκλογή, eklogē) indicates a deliberate act of God, while "grace" (χάρις, charis) emphasizes that this choice is not based on human merit but solely on God's benevolent will. This underscores the foundational Christian belief that salvation and inclusion in God's people are acts of grace, not human effort, highlighting the unearned and generous nature of God's love and mercy.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/romans/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(5, 6) As there was a remnant then, so also is there a remnant now. That there should be so is due not to any human merit on the part of those exempted from the fate of their nation, but to the spontaneous act of the divine grace selecting them from the rest. These two things," grace" and "works," really exclude each other.<p>The Apostle reverts somewhat parenthetically, and because his mind is full of the thought, to his idea of <a href="/context/romans/9-11.htm" title="(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls;)">Romans 9:11-16</a>. We have here also a break in the train of argument. After establishing the fact that there <span class= "ital">is</span> this remnant, the Apostle inquires <span class= "ital">how</span> there came to be one. The reason was because the mass of the people trusted to their own works instead of relying upon grace; therefore grace deserted them, and they were left to a judicial blindness.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/romans/11-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">In the same way,</span><br /><span class="grk">Οὕτως</span> <span class="translit">(Houtōs)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3779.htm">Strong's 3779: </a> </span><span class="str2">Thus, so, in this manner.
