Rom 11:3. Κύριε, τοὺς προφήτας σου-τὴν ψυχήν μου) 1Ki 19:14, LXX., ἐγκατέλιπον τὴν διαθήκην σου οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου καθειλον, καὶ τοὺς προφήτας σου ἀπέκτειναν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ, καὶ ὑπολέλειμμαι ἐγὼ μονώτατος, καὶ ζητοῦσι τὴν ψυχήν μου λαβεῖν αὐτήν. The children of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life to take it away. The nicety of the apostle’s style is remarkable; the LXX. in this passage use μονώτατος, as they often do; Paul μόνος.
