People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 9:11
For [the children]. The children, yet unborn, were both Isaac's
seed according to the flesh; hence, according to the flesh, of the
promised seed, and both equally without works, "neither having done
good nor evil".
That the purpose of God according to election might stand. That
it might stand forth that he made the choice of his own will, freely.
Of his own will he chose Jacob, yet unborn, to become the head of the
chosen race, rather than Esau. Note that this election was not to
eternal salvation, but to become the head of a people. As Moses,
Samuel, and John the Baptist were raised up for a great work of God, so
was Jacob.
