Romans 9:12 - An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

¹² For even before the twins were born, and therefore had not done anything good or bad, Rebecca was told [Gen. 25:23], “The older one [i.e., Esau] will serve the younger one [i.e., Jacob].” This was so that God’s purpose of choosing and calling [whomever He wanted to] might prevail, instead of [it depending on] what a person did.
