In the New Testament, it is used to describe a faithful remnant of God's people who remain true to Him despite widespread unfaithfulness or apostasy. This concept is rooted in the idea that God preserves a portion of His people to fulfill His purposes and promises.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Jewish tradition, the concept of a remnant is significant, especially during times of exile and judgment. The prophets often spoke of a remnant that would return to God and be restored. This idea carried into the New Testament, where the early Christian community saw themselves as the faithful remnant of Israel, chosen by grace to carry forward God's covenant promises.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/5275.htm">hupoleimma</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2640: κατάλειμμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατάλειμμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καταλειμματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">καταλείπω</span>), <span class="accented">a remnant, remains</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/9-27.htm">Romans 9:27</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>, where it is equivalent to a few, a small part; see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ὑπόλειμμα</span></span>.
