Romans 9:11-16

Romans 9:11-16
English Standard Version
11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of (A)him who calls— 12 she was told, (B)“The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, (C)“Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 What shall we say then? (D)Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, (E)“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion,[a] but on God, who has mercy.
