15. for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'
16. so, then--not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
17. for the Writing saith to Pharaoh--`For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
18. so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
