Romans:9:10-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And not only so ,
but also when Rebecca had conceived by one man ,
our father Isaac ,
*
before the children were born ,
or had done any thing good or evil ,
to the end that God
s purpose according to election might stand ,
not depending on works ,
but on the will of him that calleth ,
*
it was said to her , "
The elder shall serve the younger :"
*
as it is written , "
Jacob I loved ,
but Esau I hated ."
*
What then shall we say ?
Is there injustice with God ?
Far be it !
*
For he saith to Moses , "
On whom I have mercy ,
on him will I have mercy ;
and on whom I have compassion ,
on him will I have compassion ."
*
So then it dependeth not on him that willeth ,
nor on him that runneth ,
but on God who showeth mercy .
