Romans 9:10-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 And not only that,(A) but also Rebekah received a promise when she became pregnant[a](B) by one man, our ancestor Isaac. 11 For though her sons had not been born yet or done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to election might stand—(C) 12 not from works but from the One who calls—she was told: The older will serve the younger.(D)[b] 13 As it is written: I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.(E)[c]
God’s Selection Is Just
14 What should we say then?(F) Is there injustice with God?(G) Absolutely not!(H) 15 For He tells Moses:
I will show mercy
to whom I will show mercy,
and I will have compassion
on whom I will have compassion.(I)[d]
