Romans 9:11-16

11for though the twins were not yetG3380 bornG1080 and had not doneG4238 anythingG5100 goodG18 orG2228 badG5337, soG2443 that 1God’sG2316 purposeG4286 accordingG2596 to His choiceG1589 would 2standG3306, not 3becauseG1537 of worksG2041 but 4becauseG1537 of Him who callsG2564, 12it was saidG3004 to her, “5The olderG3173 will serveG1398 the youngerG1640.” 13JustG2509 as it is writtenG1125, “6JacobG2384 I lovedG25, but EsauG2269 I hatedG3404.”

147WhatG5101 shall we sayG3004 thenG3767? 8There is noG3361 injusticeG93 with GodG2316, is there? 9May it neverG3361 be! 15For He saysG3004 to MosesG3475, “10I will haveG1653 mercyG1653 on whomG3739 I haveG1653 mercyG1653, and I will haveG3627 compassionG3627 on whomG3739 I haveG3627 compassionG3627.” 16SoG686 thenG686 it does not depend on the man who willsG2309 orG3761 the man who 11runsG5143, but on 12GodG2316 who hasG1653 mercyG1653.
