Romans 9:15-18 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹⁵For He says to Moses:

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,

and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

          16So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
          17For the 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.”
          18Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
