Romans 9:16
9:16 So then,
it does not depend on human desire or exertion,
but on God who shows mercy.
Romans 9:18-19
9:18 So then,
God
has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden.
9:19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who has ever resisted his will?”
