Romans 9:10-16

10NotG3756 onlyG3440 thatG1161, butG235 Rebecca’sG4479 children wereG2192 conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520 man, ourG1473 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464. 11YetG1063 beforeG3380 the twins were bornG1080 or had doneG4238 anythingG5100 goodG18 orG2228 badG5337, in order thatG2443 God’sG2316 planG4286 ofG2596 electionG1589 might standG3306, 12notG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 butG235 byG1537 Him whoG3588 callsG2564, sheG846 was toldG2046, “TheG3588 olderG3173 will serveG1398 theG3588 youngerG1640.”1 13SoG2531 it is writtenG1125: “JacobG2384 I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 I hatedG3404.”2

14WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG2046? Is GodG2316 unjustG93? Certainly notG3361G1096! 15ForG1063 He saysG3004 toG3588 MosesG3475:

“I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739 I have mercyG302G1653,andG2532 I will have compassion onG3627 whomG3739 I have compassionG302G3627.”3

16SoG686 thenG3767, it does notG3756 depend on man’sG3588 desireG2309 or effortG5143, butG235 onG3588 God’sG2316 mercyG1653.
