Romans 9:14-17

English Standard Version

¹⁴What shall we say then? ^(A)Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! ¹⁵For he says to Moses, ^(B)“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” ¹⁶So then it depends not on human will or exertion,^[a] but on God, who has mercy. ¹⁷For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ^(C)“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”

English Standard Version

The Temple of the Living God

¹⁴^(A)Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For ^(B)what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or ^(C)what fellowship has light with darkness? ¹⁵^(D)What accord has Christ with Belial?^[a] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? ¹⁶What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ^(E)we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

^(F)“I will make my dwelling among them and ^(G)walk among them,
    and ^(H)I will be their God,
    and they shall be my people.
¹⁷Therefore ^(I)go out from their midst,
    and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
    then I will welcome you,
¹⁸^(J)and I will be a father to you,
    and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”

7 Since we have these promises, beloved, ^(K)let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body^[b] and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
