Romans 9:14-18

New American Standard Bible

^14 (A)What shall we say then? ^(B)There is no injustice with God, is there? ^[a](C)Far from it! ¹⁵ For He says to Moses, “^(D)I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will show compassion to whomever I show compassion.” ¹⁶ So then, it does not depend on the person who ^[b]wants it nor the one who ^[c](E)runs, but on ^(F)God who has mercy. ¹⁷ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “^(G)For this very reason I raised you up, in order to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed ^[d]throughout the earth.” ¹⁸ So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He ^(H)hardens whom He desires.
