Romans:9:13-18
nkjv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."
nkjv@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!
nkjv@Romans:9:15 @ For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion."
nkjv@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
nkjv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."
nkjv@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.
