ગુજરાતીરોમનોને પત્ર ૯:૧૮
તે માટે તે ચાહે તેના પર દયા કરે છે; અને ચાહે તેને હઠીલો કરે છે.
हिन्दीरोमियों ९:१८
तो फिर, वह जिस पर चाहता है, उस पर दया करता है; और जिसे चाहता है, उसे कठोर कर देता है।

In context

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.”

18So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

19You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”

20But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
