10 And not only this, but also when Rebecca conceived children by one man, Isaac our father—
11 for although they had not yet been born, or done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to election might remain,
12 not by works but by the one who calls—it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger,”
13 just as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 What then shall we say? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!
15 For to Moses he says, “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”
16 Consequently therefore, it does not depend on the one who wills or on the one who runs, but on God who shows mercy.
