This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Why doth he still find fault? (ti eti memphetai̇). Old verb, to blame. In N.T. only here and Heb 8:8. Paul’s imaginary objector picks up the admission that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. “Still” (eti) argues for a change of condition since that is true.
Withstandeth his will (tōi boulēmati autou anthestēken). Perfect active indicative of anthistēmi, old verb, maintains a stand (the perfect tense). Many have attempted to resist God’s will (boulēma, deliberate purpose, in N.T. only here and Act 27:43; 1Pe 4:3). Elsewhere thelēma (Mat 6:10).
