Romans 9:15-17

New Life Version

¹⁵ God said to Moses, “I will have loving-kindness and loving-pity for anyone I want to.” ^{(A) 16} These good things from God are not given to someone because he wants them or works to get them. They are given because of His loving-kindness. ¹⁷ The Holy Writings say to Pharaoh, “I made you leader for this reason: I used you to show My power. I used you to make My name known over all the world.” ^(B)
