Romans 9:10-24

10 1And not onlyG3440 that, but there was alsoG2532 2RebekahG4479, when she had conceivedG2845 G2192 twins by oneG1520 manG1520, our fatherG3962 IsaacG2464; 11for though the twins were not yetG3380 bornG1080 and had not doneG4238 anythingG5100 goodG18 orG2228 badG5337, soG2443 thatG2443 3God’sG2316 purposeG4286 accordingG2596 to His choiceG1589 would 4standG3306, not 5becauseG1537 of worksG2041 but 6becauseG1537 of Him who callsG2564, 12it was saidG3004 to her, “7The olderG3173 will serveG1398 the youngerG1640.” 13JustG2509 asG2509 it is writtenG1125: “8JacobG2384 I have lovedG25, but EsauG2269 I have hatedG3404.”

14 9WhatG5101 shall we sayG3004 thenG3767? 10There is noG3361 injusticeG93 with GodG2316, is there? 11 12FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 15For He saysG3004 to MosesG3475, “13I will haveG1653 mercyG1653 on whomeverG3739 I haveG1653 mercyG1653, and I will showG3627 compassionG3627 to whomeverG3739 I showG3627 compassionG3627.” 16SoG686 thenG3767, it does not depend on the person who 14wantsG2309 it norG3761 the one who 15 16runsG5143, but on 17GodG2316 who hasG1653 mercyG1653. 17For the ScriptureG1124 saysG3004 to PharaohG5328, “18For thisG3778 veryG846 reason I raisedG1825 you upG1825, inG3704 orderG3704 toG3704 demonstrateG1731 My powerG1411 in you, and that My nameG3686 might be proclaimedG1229 19throughoutG1722 G3956 the earthG1093.” 18SoG686 thenG3767 He hasG1653 mercyG1653 on whomG3739 He desiresG2309, and He 20hardensG4645 whomG3739 He desiresG2309.

19 21You will sayG3004 to me thenG3767, “22WhyG5101 does He stillG2089 findG3201 faultG3201? For 23whoG5101 has resistedG436 His willG1013?” 20OnG3304 theG3304 contraryG3304, whoG5101 are you, 24 25you foolish personG444, who 26answersG470 backG470 to GodG2316? 27The thingG4110 moldedG4110 will not sayG3004 to the molderG4111, “WhyG5101 did you makeG4160 me likeG3779 thisG3779,” will it? 21OrG2228 does the potterG2763 not haveG2192 a rightG1849 over the clayG4081, to makeG4160 from the sameG846 lumpG5445 oneG3739 G3303 objectG4632 28for honorableG5092 useG5092, and anotherG3739 G1161 29for commonG819 useG819? 22 30WhatG1161 ifG1487 GodG2316, although willingG2309 to demonstrateG1731 His wrathG3709 and to makeG1107 His powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 with greatG4183 31patienceG3115 objectsG4632 of wrathG3709 32preparedG2675 for destructionG684? 23And He did so to makeG1107 knownG1107 33the richesG4149 of His gloryG1391 upon 34objectsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 He 35preparedG4282 beforehandG4282 for gloryG1391, 24namely us, whomG3739 He alsoG2532 36calledG2564, 37not onlyG3440 from amongG1537 JewsG2453, but alsoG2532 from amongG1537 GentilesG1484,
