Letter 251
To the Same Person.
Everything worthy of salvation has been found, but what is unworthy, because of its impenitence and its hardening, will not be found; as it is said: "For though their number be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved" [Isaiah 10:22, cited at Romans 9:27] - that is, what is called by the Apostle [Paul] a remnant according to the election of grace [Romans 11:5], saved through faith.

Latin / Greek Original
Πᾶν τὸ ἄξιον σωτηρίας ηὑρέθη, τὸ δ᾽ ἀνάξιον διὰ τὴν ἀμετανοησίαν, καὶ τὴν πώρωσιν οὐχ εὑρήσεται λέγεται· « Ἐὰν γὰρ ὑπάρχῃ ὥσπερ ὁ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης, τὸ κατάλειμμα σωθήσεται, » ἤτοι τὸ λεγόμενον παρὰ τῷ Ἀποστόλῳ λεῖμμα κατ᾽ ἐκλογὴν χάριτος· σωζόμενον διὰ πίστεως.
