NASB
"So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy."
— Romans 9:16, NASB
“So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.”
“So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. ”
“So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.”
“So then, it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.”
“So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.”
“So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God.”
“So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.”
Just as it is written, "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."
What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!
For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION."
So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."
So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.
You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?"
