(For the children being not yet G3380 born, G1080 neither G3366 having done G4238 any G5100 good G18 or G2228 evil, G2556 that the purpose G4286 of God G2316 according G2596 to election G1589 might stand, G3306 not of works, G2041 but of him that calls; G2564 )

And it came H1961 to pass, that when Isaac H3327 was old, H2204 and his eyes H5869 were dim, H3543 so that he could not see, H7200 he called H7121 Esau H6215 his oldest H1419 son, H1121 and said H559 to him, My son: H1121 and he said H559 to him, Behold, H2009 here am I.

Now therefore take, H5375 I pray H4994 you, your weapons, H3627 your quiver H8522 and your bow, H7198 and go H3318 out to the field, H7704 and take H6679 me some venison; H6720

Go H3212 now to the flock, H6629 and fetch H3947 me from there H8033 two H8147 good H2896 kids H1423 of the goats; H5795 and I will make H6213 them savoury H4303 meat for your father, H1 such as he loves: H157

And Jacob H3290 said H559 to Rebekah H7259 his mother, H517 Behold, H2005 Esau H6215 my brother H251 is a hairy H8163 man, H376 and I am a smooth H2509 man: H376

And his mother H517 said H559 to him, On me be your curse, H7045 my son: H1121 only H389 obey H8085 my voice, H6963 and go H3212 fetch H3947 me them.

Your people H5971 shall be willing H5071 in the day H3117 of your power, H2428 in the beauties H1926 of holiness H6944 from the womb H7358 of the morning: H4891 you have the dew H2919 of your youth. H3208

I am sought H1875 of them that asked H7592 not for me; I am found H4672 of them that sought H1245 me not: I said, H559 Behold H2009 me, behold H2009 me, to a nation H1471 that was not called H7121 by my name. H8034

At G1722 that time G2540 Jesus G2424 answered G611 and said, G2036 I thank G1843 you, O Father, G3962 Lord G2962 of heaven G3772 and earth, G1093 because G3754 you have hid G613 these G5023 things from the wise G4680 and prudent, G4908 and have revealed G601 them to babes. G3516

Even so, G3779 Father: G3962 for so G3779 it seemed G1096 G2107 good G2107 in your sight. G1715

In that hour G5610 Jesus G2424 rejoiced G21 in spirit, G4151 and said, G2036 I thank G1843 you, O Father, G3962 Lord G2962 of heaven G3772 and earth, G1093 that you have hid G613 these G5023 things from the wise G4680 and prudent, G4908 and have revealed G601 them to babes: G3516 even G3483 so, G3488 Father; G3962 for so G3779 it seemed G1096 G2107 good in your sight. G1715

But as many G3745 as received G2983 him, to them gave G1325 he power G1849 to become G1096 the sons G5043 of God, G2316 even to them that believe G4100 on G1519 his name: G3686

Which G3739 were born, G1080 not of blood, G129 nor G3761 of the will G2307 of the flesh, G4561 nor G3761 of the will G2307 of man, G435 but of God. G2316

The wind G4151 blows G4154 where G3699 it wants, G2309 and you hear G191 the sound G5456 thereof, G846 but can G1492 not tell G1492 from where G4159 it comes, G2064 and where G4226 it goes: G5217 so G3779 is every G3956 one that is born G1080 of the Spirit. G4151

For you see G991 your G5216 calling, G2821 brothers, G80 how that not many G4183 wise G4680 men after G2596 the flesh, G4561 not many G4183 mighty, G1415 not many G4183 noble, G2104 are called:

And base G36 things of the world, G2889 and things which are despised, G1848 has God G2316 chosen, G1586 yes, and things which G3588 are not, to bring G2673 to nothing G2673 things that are:

But of him are you in Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 who G3739 of God G2316 is made G1096 to us wisdom, G4678 and righteousness, G1343 and sanctification, G38 and redemption: G629

But God, G2316 who is rich G4145 in mercy, G1656 for his great G4183 love G26 with which G3739 he loved G25 us,

Even G2532 when we were dead G3498 in sins, G3900 has quickened G4806 us together G4806 with Christ, G5547 (by grace G5485 you are saved; G4982 )

For it is God G2316 which G3588 works G1754 in you both G2532 to will G2309 and to do G1754 of his good pleasure. G2107

But we are bound G3784 to give thanks G2168 always G104 to God G2316 for you, brothers G80 beloved G25 of the Lord, G2962 because G3754 God G2316 has from the beginning G746 chosen G138 you to salvation G4991 through G1722 sanctification G38 of the Spirit G4151 and belief G4102 of the truth: G225

Whereunto G1519 G3739 he called G2564 you by our gospel, G2098 to the obtaining G4047 of the glory G1391 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

For we ourselves G2249 also G2532 were sometimes G4218 foolish, G453 disobedient, G545 deceived, G4105 serving G1398 divers G4164 lusts G1939 and pleasures, G2237 living G1236 in malice G2549 and envy, G5355 hateful, G4767 and hating G3404 one G240 another. G240

Not by works G2041 of righteousness G1343 which G3739 we have done, G4160 but according G2596 to his mercy G1656 he saved G4982 us, by the washing G3067 of regeneration, G3824 and renewing G342 of the Holy G40 Ghost; G4151

Of his own will G1014 begat G616 he us with the word G3056 of truth, G225 that we should be a kind G5100 of first fruits G536 of his creatures. G2938

But you are a chosen G1588 generation, G1085 a royal G934 priesthood, G2406 an holy G40 nation, G1484 a peculiar G1519 G4047 people; G2992 that you should show G1804 forth G1804 the praises G703 of him who has called G2564 you out of darkness G4655 into G1519 his marvelous G2298 light; G5457

Which G3588 in time G4218 past were not a people, G2992 but are now G3568 the people G2992 of God: G2316 which G3588 had not obtained G1653 mercy, G1653 but now G3568 have obtained G1653 mercy. G1653
