Romans 9:11-13

New Living Translation

¹¹ But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes; ¹² he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, “Your older son will serve your younger son.”^{[a] 13} In the words of the Scriptures, “I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau.”^[b]
