What shall we say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.

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

Nay but O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
