Romans 9:16

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

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

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.

so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
