13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

13 In the words of the Scriptures, “I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau.”

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

13 As the Scripture says, “I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau.”

13 Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.

13 The Scriptures say, “I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau.” 

13 As it is written: I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.

13 As it is written,

“I have loved Jacob,

but I have hated Esau.”

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

16 So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.

16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

16 So God will choose the one to whom he decides to show mercy; his choice does not depend on what people want or try to do.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.

16 So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.

16 Therefore, God’s choice does not depend on a person’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 

16 So then it does not depend on human will or effort but on God who shows mercy.

16 So it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.

16 Consequently therefore, it does not depend on the one who wills or on the one who runs, but on God who shows mercy.

16 So it doesn’t depend on what we want or do. It depends on God’s mercy.

16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

12 God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God.

12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

12 to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

12 that we should be to the praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:

12 He planned all of this so that we who had already focused our hope on Christ would praise him and give him glory. 

12 so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory.

12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory.

12 that we who hoped beforehand in Christ should be for the praise of his glory,

12 We were the first to put our hope in Christ. We were chosen to bring praise to his glory.
