Romans 9:14-18
Legacy Standard Bible
14 (A)What shall we say then? (B)Is there any unrighteousness with God? (C)May it never be! 15 For He says to Moses, “(D)I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it does not depend on the one who wills or the one who (E)runs, but on (F)God who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “(G)For this very purpose I raised you up, in order to demonstrate My power in you, and in order that My name might be proclaimed [a]throughout the whole earth.” 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He (H)hardens whom He desires.

Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice
14 What shall we say then? (A)Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, (B)“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For (C)the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, (D)“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He (E)hardens.
