据此看来，这不在乎那定意的，也不在乎那奔跑的，只在乎发怜悯的神。

由此看来，这不靠人的意愿，也不靠人的努力，只靠上帝的怜悯。

由此看来，这不靠人的意愿，也不靠人的努力，只靠神的怜悯。

可见这并不在于人的意志和努力，而在于祂的怜悯。

由此可见，这不在于人的意愿，也不在于人的努力，而在于施怜悯的神。

這便不是在乎那意願的，也不是在乎那奔跑的，乃是在乎那憐恤人的上帝了。

由此可見，這不在於人的意願，也不在於人的努力，而在於施憐憫的神。

是則非由志意、非由馳驅、乃由矜恤之上帝也、

此非由人意、非由人力、乃由上帝矜恤、

如是、非由人願、非由人力、原文作如是非由願者非由趨者乃由矜恤之天主、

此固非人意與人力、所得而左右、惟在慈惠天主之矜恤而已。

It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

So it doesn’t depend on what people want or what they do. It depends on God’s mercy.

So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.

So then, it does not depend on human will or effort but on God who shows mercy.

So then, it does not depend on the person who wants it nor the one who runs, but on God who has mercy.

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

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

At that time Jesus answered and said,“ I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said,“ I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

“ I was sought by those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. I said,‘ Here I am, here I am,’ To a nation that was not called by My name.

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,that no flesh should glory in His presence.But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God— and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—that, as it is written,“ He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ( by grace you have been saved),

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

( for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth.

Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him,“ My son.” And he answered him,“ Here I am.”Then he said,“ Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”

Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.”And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother,“ Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man.Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”But his mother said to him,“ Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.”And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
