Romans 9:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 For ere the children were born, and when they had neither done good nor evil (that the [a]purpose of God might [b]remain according to election, not by works, but by him that calleth.)
12 [c]It was said unto her, (A)The Elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, (B)I have loved Jacob, and have hated Esau.

- Romans 9:11 God’s decree, which proceedeth of his mere good will, whereby it pleased him to choose one, and refuse the other.
- Romans 9:11 Paul saith not, might be made, but being made, might remain. Therefore they are deceived which make foreseen faith the cause of election, and foreknown infidelity, the cause of reprobation.
- Romans 9:12 He proveth the casting away of Esau by that, that he was made servant to his brother: and proveth the choosing of Jacob by that that he was made Lord of his brother, although his brother were the first begotten. And lest that any man might take this saying of God, and refer it to external things, the Apostle showeth out of Malachi, who is a good interpreter of Moses, that the servitude of Esau was joined with the hatred of God, and the Lordship of Jacob with the love of God.
