Romans 9:13-18

13 As it is written, ^a“Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

14 What shall we say then? ^bIs there injustice on God’s part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, ^c“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, ^{▼▼Greek not of him who wills or runs} but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ^e“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

Romans 11:29

29 For the gifts and ^fthe calling of God are irrevocable.

1 Corinthians 4:7

7 For who sees anything different in you? ^gWhat do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

Philippians 1:6

6 And I am sure of this, that he who began ^ha good work in you ⁱwill bring it to completion at ^jthe day of Jesus Christ.
