Romans 9:16-18 Therefore, it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Therefore, it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. ¹⁷ For the scripture says to Pharaoh: For this very purpose have I raised you up, that I may show in you my power, and that my name may be published in all the earth. ¹⁸ Therefore, he has mercy on whom he wills to have mercy: and whom he wills to harden, he hardens.
