The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,it was said to her,“ The elder will serve the younger.”Even as it is written,“ Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!For he said to Moses,“ I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
