Romans 9:14-20
English Standard Version
14 What shall we say then? (A)Is 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,[a] but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, (C)“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 (D)who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, (E)to answer back to God? (F)Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”
