Romans 9:14-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 What then are we to say? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means!(A) 15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”(B)
16 So it depends not on human will or exertion but on God who shows mercy. 17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, “I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I may show my power in you and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.”(C) 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he chooses, and he hardens the heart of whomever he chooses.
