Romans 9:14-24

14 What shall we say then? ^aIs there injustice on God’s part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, ^b“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, ^{▼▼Greek not of him who wills or runs} but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ^d“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.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For ^ewho can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, ^fto answer back to God? ^gWill what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 ^hHas the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump ⁱone vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience ^jvessels of wrath ^kprepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known ^lthe riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he ^mhas prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he ⁿhas called, ^onot from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?
