God's Gracious Election Of Israel
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. 13 Just as it is written [Mal. 1:2-3], "I [i.e., God] loved Jacob, but hated Esau." 14 What shall we say then? Is God guilty of wrongdoing? Certainly not!
