Romans 9:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 So then, it does not depend on the person who [a]wants it nor the one who [b](A)runs, but on (B)God who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “(C)For this very reason I raised you up, in order to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed [c]throughout the earth.” 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He (D)hardens whom He desires.

Romans 9:16-18
New International Version
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(A) 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[a](B) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(C)
