Does this mean that God is unjust? Absolutely not! 15 For God says to Moses: I will show mercy to whom I show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. [1] 16 So then, it does not depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 Indeed, the Scripture says in regard to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to stand, that I may demonstrate my power in how I deal with you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.” [2] 18 So then, God shows mercy to whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires. 19 Then you will say to me, “Why does God still find fault? For who has ever succeeded in resisting his will?” 20 But who are you, a mere human being, to talk back to God? Shall the thing that is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” No. 21 Doesn’t the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay one pot for special use and another for ordinary use? 22 What if God, although he wanted to demonstrate his wrath and make his power known, endured with great patience the objects of wrath—ripe for destruction? [3] 23 And what if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of mercy whom he prepared in advance for glory, 24 including us, whom he called—not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles. God Shows Mercy to Gentiles and the Remnant of Israel 25 This is also what God says in Hosea: Those who were not my people, I will call my people, and she who was not loved, I will call my loved one. [4] 26 And, it will be that in the place where they were told, “You are not my people,” there they will be called “sons of the living God.” [5] 27 And Isaiah cries out about Israel: Although the number of the sons of Israel is as great as the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved. 28 For the Lord, who carries out what he says without delay, [6] will do what he said completely and decisively on the earth. [7] 29 Just as Isaiah said earlier: If the Lord of Armies [8] had not left us some descendants, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been like Gomorrah. [9] Footnotes Romans 9:15 Exodus 33:19 Romans 9:17 Exodus 9:16 Romans 9:22 Or who had prepared themselves for destruction? Romans 9:25 Hosea 2:23 Romans 9:26 Hosea 1:10 Romans 9:28 Some witnesses to the text omit who carries out what he says without delay. Romans 9:28 Isaiah 10:22-23 Romans 9:29 Or Sabaoth. The Hebrew word Sabaoth means armies. God’s armies are the armies of angels and the armies of stars.
