Romans 9:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ God promised, “I will return at the appointed time. Sarah will have a son.” (Genesis 18:10,14)

¹⁰ And that’s not all. Rebekah’s children were born at the same time by the same father. He was our father Isaac. ¹¹ Here is what happened. Rebekah’s twins had not even been born. They hadn’t done anything good or bad yet. So they show that God’s purpose is based firmly on his free choice.
