Romans 9:13-18
English Standard Version
Romans 9:13-18
English Standard Version
13 As it is written, (A)“Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 What shall we say then? (B)Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, (C)“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. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, (D)“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

Romans 9:13-18
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) 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.”[c](F) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(G)
