(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
Antes de que los gemelos nacieran, antes de que pudieran hacer algo bueno o malo, Dios ya había tomado su decisión. Esto muestra que el plan de Dios no se basa en lo que hacemos o dejamos de hacer, sino completamente en que él nos llama.
Dios elige según su propósito soberano, no basado en nuestras obras.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans, written around AD 57 to a church in Rome dealing with tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers, he is addressing God's sovereign election in salvation. Paul draws from the Old Testament story in Genesis, where God chose Jacob over his twin brother Esau before they were born and had done any good or evil, to emphasize that God's purposes are not based on human actions but on His own will. This argument was crucial in Paul's effort to show that God's promises to Israel were fulfilled through faith, not works.
