Romans 9:11-16

11for though the twins were not yetG3380 bornG1080 and had not doneG4238 anythingG5100 goodG18 orG2228 badG5337, soG2443 thatG2443 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 asG2509 it is writtenG1125: “6JacobG2384 I have lovedG25, but EsauG2269 I have hatedG3404.”

147WhatG5101 shall we sayG3004 thenG3767? 8There is noG3361 injusticeG93 with GodG2316, is there? 910FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 15For He saysG3004 to MosesG3475, “11I 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 12wantsG2309 it norG3761 the one who 1314runsG5143, but on 15GodG2316 who hasG1653 mercyG1653.
