Romans 9:14-21

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁴ What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!

¹⁵ for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'

¹⁶ so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

¹⁷ for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'

¹⁸ so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'

²⁰ nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?

²¹ hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
