Romans 9:11-13

New Life Version

¹¹ Even before the two sons were born, we see God’s plan of choosing. God could choose whom He wanted. It could not be changed because of anything the older son tried to do about it. It was before either one had done anything good or bad. ¹² Rebecca was told, “The older son will work for the younger son.” ¹³ The Holy Writings say, “I loved Jacob, but hated Esau.” ^(A)
