Romans 9:11-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that (A)God’s purpose according to His choice would [a]stand, not [b]because of works but [c]because of Him who calls, 12 it was said to her, “(B)The older will serve the younger.” 13 Just as it is written, “(C)Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 (D)What shall we say then? (E)There is no injustice with God, is there? (F)May it never be! 15 For He says to Moses, “(G)I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who (H)runs, but on (I)God who has mercy.

Romans 9:11-16
New International Version
Romans 9:11-16
New International Version
11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad(A)—in order that God’s purpose(B) in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[a](C) 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[b](D)
14 What then shall we say?(E) Is God unjust? Not at all!(F) 15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[c](G)
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(H)
