Romans 9:14-18
14aWhat shall we say then? bIs there any unrighteousness with God? cMay it never be! 15For He says to Moses, “aI will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16So then it does not depend on the one who wills or the one who aruns, but on bGod who has mercy. 17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “aFor this very purpose I raised you up, in order to demonstrate My power in you, and in order that My name might be proclaimed 1throughout the whole earth.” 18So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He ahardens whom He desires.
