Romans 9:13-16
New International Version
Romans 9:13-16
New International Version
13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[a](A)
14 What then shall we say?(B) Is God unjust? Not at all!(C) 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.”[b](D)
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(E)

Romans 9:13-16
King James Version
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice
14 What shall we say then? (B)Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, (C)“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.
