爾較凡民、其數維寡、耶和華愛爾擇爾、非為爾曹眾多也、

主悅爾、選擇爾、非為爾較諸國之民、人數眾多、爾原較諸民、人數維寡、

The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

The Lord chose you because he loved you very much. He didn’t choose you because you had more people than other nations. In fact, you had the smallest number of all.

It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples,

“ The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations!

“ The LORD had his heart set on you and chose you, not because you were more numerous than all peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

“ The Lord did not make you His beloved nor choose you because you were greater in number than any of the peoples, since you were the fewest of all peoples,

The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples;

Jehovah did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all peoples:

“ The Lord was devoted to you and chose you, not because you were more numerous than all peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

陶匠難道沒有權用同一團的泥，又做貴重的、又做卑賤的器皿嗎？

你們這小群，不要怕，因為你們的父樂意把國賜給你們。

雙生子還沒有生下來，善惡也沒有行出來（為要堅定神揀選人的旨意，不是由於行為，而是由於那呼召者），神就對她說：“將來大的要服事小的。”正如經上所記的：“我愛雅各，卻惡以掃。”既是這樣，我們可以說甚麼呢？神不公平嗎？絕對不會！因為他對摩西說：“我要憐憫誰，就憐憫誰；我要恩待誰，就恩待誰。”

不是我們愛神，而是神愛我們，差遣他的兒子為我們的罪作了贖罪祭，這就是愛了。

這樣看來，他願意憐憫誰就憐憫誰，願意誰剛硬就使誰剛硬。
