Romans 9:11-23
New King James Version
11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of (A)Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, (B)“The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, (C)“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice
14 What shall we say then? (D)Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, (E)“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For (F)the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, (G)“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.” 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He (H)hardens.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For (I)who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? (J)Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the (K)potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make (L)one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering (M)the vessels of wrath (N)prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known (O)the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had (P)prepared beforehand for glory,

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) 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[d](I) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(J)
19 One of you will say to me:(K) “Then why does God still blame us?(L) For who is able to resist his will?”(M) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(N) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(O) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[e](P) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(Q)
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(R) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(S) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(T) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(U)—
