This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 9:18. Ὃν θέλει) whom He will. Moreover, as regards the question, to whom God wills to show mercy, and whom He wills to harden; Paul shows that in other passages.-ἐλεεῖ, has mercy) as for example on Moses.-σκληρύνει, hardens) as He did Pharaoh. He uses, hardens, for, has not mercy, by metonymy of [substituting, for the antecedent,] the consequent, although not to have mercy has a somewhat harsher meaning: so, is sanctified, for, is not unclean, 1Co 7:14; and, you rescued from, [ἐῤῥύσασθε], instead of you did not deliver up. Jos 22:31.
