Romans 9:14-16
International Standard Version
14 What can we say, then? God is not unrighteous, is he? Of course not! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will be merciful to the person I want to be merciful to, and I will be kind to the person I want to be kind to.”[a] 16 Therefore, God’s choice[b] does not depend on a person’s will or effort, but on God himself, who shows mercy.

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[a](C)
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(D)
