Romans 9:17-22

17For the ScriptureG1124 saysG3004 to PharaohG5328, “1For thisG3778 veryG846 purpose I raisedG1825 you up, to demonstrateG1731 My powerG1411 in you, and that My nameG3686 might be proclaimedG1229 2throughoutG1722 the wholeG3956 earthG1093.” 18SoG686 thenG686 He hasG1653 mercyG1653 on whomG3739 He desiresG2309, and He 3hardensG4645 whomG3739 He desiresG2309.

19 4You will sayG3004 to me thenG3767, “5WhyG5101 does He stillG2089 findG3201 faultG3201? For 6whoG5101 resistsG436 His willG1013?” 20On the contraryG3304, whoG5101 are you, 7OG5599 manG444, who 8answersG470 backG470 to GodG2316? 9The 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 oneG3739 G3303 vesselG4632 10for honorableG5092 useG5092 and anotherG3739 G1161 11for commonG819 useG819? 22 12WhatG1161 ifG1487 GodG2316, although willingG2309 to demonstrateG1731 His wrathG3709 and to makeG1107 His powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 with muchG4183 13patienceG3115 vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 14preparedG2675 for destructionG684?
