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,

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)
