Expansion of χάριτος in Romans 11:5 : grace and works are mutually exclusive. Nothing a man can do gives him a claim as of right against God to be included in the remnant. ἐπεὶ : otherwise. Cf. Romans 11:22; Romans 3:6. Gratia nisi gratis sit gratia non est. Aug [4] The fact that there is a remnant, and one owing its existence to God's grace, is the proof that (in spite of the wholesale defection of Israel) God has not cast off His people.

[4] Augustine.
