માટે તે તો ઇચ્છનારથી નહિ અને દોડનારથી નહિ, પણ દયા કરનાર ઈશ્વરથી થાય છે.
हिन्दीरोमियों ९:१६
इसलिए यह न तो चाहनेवाले की, न दौड़नेवाले की परन्तु दया करनेवाले परमेश्वर की बात है।

16So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
