New American Standard Bible
Romans 9:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 Just as it is written: “(A)Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
14 (B)What shall we say then? (C)There is no injustice with God, is there? [a](D)Far from it! 15 For He says to Moses, “(E)I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will show compassion to whomever I show compassion.” 16 So then, it does not depend on the person who [b]wants it nor the one who [c](F)runs, but on (G)God who has mercy.
