So then, God has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden.

如此看来，神要怜悯谁就怜悯谁，要叫谁刚硬就叫谁刚硬。

由此看来，上帝要怜悯谁就怜悯谁，要使谁刚硬就使谁刚硬。

由此看来，神要怜悯谁就怜悯谁，要使谁刚硬就使谁刚硬。

总之，上帝要怜悯谁，就怜悯谁；要叫谁顽固，就叫谁顽固。

这样看来，他愿意怜悯谁就怜悯谁，愿意谁刚硬就使谁刚硬。

这样看来，神要怜悯谁，就怜悯谁；要使谁顽固，就使谁顽固。

如此看來，神要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要叫誰剛硬就叫誰剛硬。

由此看來，上帝要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要使誰剛硬就使誰剛硬。

由此看來，神要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要使誰剛硬就使誰剛硬。

總之，上帝要憐憫誰，就憐憫誰；要叫誰頑固，就叫誰頑固。

這樣看來，他願意憐憫誰就憐憫誰，願意誰剛硬就使誰剛硬。

這便是他不但願意憐恤誰，就憐恤誰、而且願意叫誰剛愎、就叫誰剛愎了。

這樣看來，神要憐憫誰，就憐憫誰；要使誰頑固，就使誰頑固。

是上帝隨所欲矜恤之、亦隨所欲剛愎之、○

蓋矜恤人者惟上帝、聽人剛愎者、亦惟上帝、

如是、天主所欲矜恤者、則矜恤之、所欲使剛愎者、則使之剛愎、

蓋矜恤人者惟天主、使人冥頑、亦惟天主而已。

Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

So God does what he wants to do. He shows mercy to one person and makes another stubborn.

So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

So you see, God chooses to show mercy to some, and he chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen.

So then, he has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth.

So then, He shows mercy to those He wants to, and He hardens those He wants to harden.

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will[ have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.

So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

For he says to Moses:“ I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”So then, it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.

for the LORD determined to make them obstinate so they would attack Israel. He wanted Israel to annihilate them without mercy, as he had instructed Moses.

The LORD said to Moses,“ When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders I have put under your control. But I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved.Consequently God sends on them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false.And so all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned.

What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The rest were hardened,as it is written,“ God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, to this very day.”

But King Sihon of Heshbon was unwilling to allow us to pass near him because the LORD our God had made him obstinate and stubborn so that he might deliver him over to you this very day.

Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had predicted.

Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

when he said,‘ Go to this people and say,“ You will keep on hearing, but will never understand, and you will keep on looking, but will never perceive.For the heart of this people has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”’“ Therefore be advised that this salvation from God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen!”

Why, LORD, do you make us stray from your ways, and make our minds stubborn so that we do not obey you? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance!

And concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:‘ You will listen carefully yet will never understand, you will look closely yet will never comprehend.For the heart of this people has become dull; they are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’

to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son.
