So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God-The Father that shows mercy.

For the scripture says unto Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], Even for this same purpose have I raised youi up, that I might show my power in youi, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.Exo 9:16; Exo 14:4

Therefore has he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardens.
