Romans 9:14

God's Sovereign Choice To Show Mercy

¹³ As it is written: I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau. ¹⁴ What should we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not! ¹⁵ For He tells Moses:

I will show mercy
to whom I will show mercy,
and I will have compassion
on whom I will have compassion.

Certainly Not

From God

God Forbid

With God

By No Means

No
