Romans 9:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ Was God being unfair? Of course not. ¹⁵ For God had said to Moses, “If I want to be kind to someone, I will. And I will take pity on anyone I want to.” ¹⁶ And so God’s blessings are not given just because someone decides to have them or works hard to get them. They are given because God takes pity on those he wants to.
