Romans 9:16-18
International Standard Version
16 Therefore, God’s choice[a] does not depend on a person’s will or effort, but on God himself, who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says about Pharaoh,
“I have raised you up for this very purpose,
to demonstrate my power through you
and that my name might be proclaimed
in all the earth.”[b]
18 Therefore, God[c] has mercy on whomever he chooses, and he hardens the heart of whomever he chooses.
