Romans 9:11-16 yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad — that the purpose of God, which is by election, might stand — it was said unto her, not by the reason of works, but by grace of the caller,

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad — that the purpose of God, which is by election, might stand — it was said unto her, not by the reason of works, but by grace of the caller, ¹² "The elder shall serve the younger." ¹³ As it is written, "Jacob he loved, but Esau he hated." ¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there any unrighteousness with God? God forbid. ¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, "I will show mercy to whom I show mercy: And will have compassion on whom I have compassion." ¹⁶ So lieth it not then in a man's will, or cunning, but in the mercy of God.
