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

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

so, then--not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but ofGod that shews mercy.
