Romans 9:11 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

(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;)

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Before the twins were even born — before they could do anything good or bad — God had already made his choice. This shows that God's plan isn't based on what we do or don't do, but completely on him calling us.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's plan for your life started before you even took your first breath.
