Romans 9:18 - Primerjaj vse različice

Deli

Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen.

So then, he has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

Is that grounds for complaining that God is unfair? Not so fast, please. God told Moses, “I’m in charge of mercy. I’m in charge of compassion.” Compassion doesn’t originate in our bleeding hearts or moral sweat, but in God’s mercy. The same point was made when God said to Pharaoh, “I picked you as a bit player in this drama of my salvation power.” All we’re saying is that God has the first word, initiating the action in which we play our part for better or worse.

So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

So then, He has mercy on whom He wills (chooses), and He hardens [the heart of] whom He wills.

So then, God has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden.
