Romans 9:16 | |
NASB: So then it [does] not [depend] on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. (NASB ©1995) GWT: Therefore, God's choice does not depend on a person's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. ASV: So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. BBE: So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God. DBY: So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy. WEY: And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh, WBS: So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. WEB: So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy. YLT: so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness: | |
