Romans 9:14-25
141WhatG5101 shall we sayG3004 thenG3767? 2There is noG3361 injusticeG93 with GodG2316, is there? 3May it neverG3361 be! 15For He saysG3004 to MosesG3475, “4I will haveG1653 mercyG1653 on whomG3739 I haveG1653 mercyG1653, and I will haveG3627 compassionG3627 on whomG3739 I haveG3627 compassionG3627.” 16SoG686 thenG686 it does not depend on the man who willsG2309 orG3761 the man who 5runsG5143, but on 6GodG2316 who hasG1653 mercyG1653. 17For the ScriptureG1124 saysG3004 to PharaohG5328, “7For thisG3778 veryG846 purpose I raisedG1825 you up, to demonstrateG1731 My powerG1411 in you, and that My nameG3686 might be proclaimedG1229 8throughoutG1722 the wholeG3956 earthG1093.” 18SoG686 thenG686 He hasG1653 mercyG1653 on whomG3739 He desiresG2309, and He 9hardensG4645 whomG3739 He desiresG2309.
1910You will sayG3004 to me thenG3767, “11WhyG5101 does He stillG2089 findG3201 faultG3201? For 12whoG5101 resistsG436 His willG1013?” 20On the contraryG3304, whoG5101 are you, 13OG5599 manG444, who 14answersG470 backG470 to GodG2316? 15The thingG4110 moldedG4110 will not sayG3004 to the molderG4111, “WhyG5101 did you makeG4160 me likeG3779 thisG3779,” will it? 21OrG2228 does not the potterG2763 haveG2192 a rightG1849 over the clayG4081, to makeG4160 from the sameG846 lumpG5445 oneG3739G3303 vesselG4632 16for honorableG5092 useG5092 and anotherG3739G1161 17for commonG819 useG819? 2218WhatG1161 ifG1487 GodG2316, although willingG2309 to demonstrateG1731 His wrathG3709 and to makeG1107 His powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 with muchG4183 19patienceG3115 vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 20preparedG2675 for destructionG684? 23And He did so to makeG1107 knownG1107 21the richesG4149 of His gloryG1391 upon 22vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 He 23preparedG4282 beforehandG4282 for gloryG1391, 24even us, whomG3739 He alsoG2532 24calledG2564, 25not from amongG1537 JewsG2453 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 from amongG1537 GentilesG1484. 25As He saysG3004 alsoG2532 in HoseaG5617, “26I will callG2564 thoseG3588 who were not My peopleG2992, ‘My peopleG2992,’ And her who was not belovedG25, ‘belovedG25.’”
