15 For he says to Moses, |I will be merciful to the person I want to be merciful to, and I will be kind to the person I want to be kind to.| 16 Therefore, God's choice does not depend on a person's will or effort, but on God himself, who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says about Pharaoh, |I have raised you up for this very purpose, to demonstrate my power through you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.| 18 Therefore, God has mercy on whomever he chooses, and he hardens the heart of whomever he chooses.
