MLV(i)
16 Therefore consequently, it is not from the one who wills, nor from the one who runs, but from God, the one who shows-mercy.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, ‘I have lifted you up for this same thing, that I myself might show in you my power and that my name might be thoroughly proclaimed in all the earth.’
18 Therefore consequently, he shows-mercy on whom he wills and he hardens whom he wills.
