Romans 9:13-16
KJV(i)13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
JuliaSmith(i)13 As has been written, Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated. 14 What then shall we say Is injustice with God? It may not be. 15 I will commiserate whomsoever I commiserate, and I will have compassion upon whomsoever I have compassion. 16 Surely then, not of him Willing, nor of him running, but of God commiserating.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
13 God is love because of this God can not hate but here what it is saying is compared to the love God had for Jacob He hated Esau. I is the same when Jesus said “If you do not hate your father and mother, you not serve me” Jesus was not saying we are to show hate to our parents because thebible teaches we should honor them but, what Jesus is saying is compared to the love and obedience we show Him it should be so different than the way we react to our parents that it is as love hate or opposites. The bible teaches we are to love and that God loves and this verse is not undoing all this truth.
14 God is righteous and all the righteous are of God. The only we can be righteous is by receiving the Lord’s forgiveness and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
15 Not all will receive mercy from the Lord some will and will be spared from the hell we all disserve and others will receive His mercy and grace and be blessed by being able to walk on the streets of gold.
16 God has chosen each believer to show mercy on and give grace thru them receiving their own salvation. God chose to set the believers apart from the world to be a part of Him.
