Romans 9:16

Verse 15–16. I will have mercy, and so forth Then it is not of him that willeth, and so forth By these words he again teaches that God’s call and predestination of those whom he has decreed to save, is not upon account of any works or merits in men, but only to be attributed to the mercy and goodness of God.
