* For he saith to Moses , I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy , and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion . * So then it is not of him that willeth , nor of him that runneth , but of God that sheweth mercy . * For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh , Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up , that I might shew my power in thee , and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth . * Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy , and whom he will he hardeneth . * Thou wilt say then unto me , Why doth he yet find fault ? For who hath resisted his will ? * Nay but , O man , who art thou that repliest against God ? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it , Why hast thou made me thus ? * Hath not the potter power over the clay , of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour , and another unto dishonour ? * What if God , willing to shew his wrath , and to make his power known , endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction : * And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy , which he had afore prepared unto glory , * Even us , whom he hath called , not of the Jews only , but also of the Gentiles ?
