Mercy( Romans 9:18)

"Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth."-Romans 9:18 KJV

 

The latter misunderstood by some as suffering in life/hard trials (but as read through out the whole Bible the longsuffering of the Lord is Salvation),

 

This is towards the unsaved, and the former is towards the saved.

 

"And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,"-Romans 9:23 KJV
