Rom Romans, chapter Epistle to the Romans, chapter 9
So God is merciful to those he wishes to be, and hardens the attitude of those he wants to.9:18. In the Old Testament, this expression is used to describe obstinate rejection of God, such as the experience of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. In Exodus 9 Pharaoh is variously described as choosing a stubborn attitude, or that God gave him a stubborn attitude, or in the passive that he had a stubborn attitude. So this verse in Romans should not be taken to mean that God deliberately hardens people's attitudes and then punishes them for it. The stubborn attitude is a rejection of divine grace.

A tak tedy nad kýmž chce, smilovává se, a koho chce, zatvrzuje.
SNC [9:16–18]
Nikomu tím není povinen, nikdo na to nemá nárok. Je to jen jeho milost, když to učiní. Faraónovi, jak sám říká, propůjčil jeho postavení proto, aby na něm ukázal svou moc a aby rozšířil svůj věhlas po celé zemi. Tak tedy žádným sebevětším úsilím, nýbrž z pouhé Boží milosti jsou lidé to, co jsou.
