New King James Version

Romans 9:12-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

12. it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.”

13. As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”

14. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!

15. For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”

16. So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
