Calvinists interpret vs. 15 to mean that God can choose to save whomever He wishes, which is not a point any Traditionalist would deny. Whom God desires to save is no secret, however. Scripture declares plainly, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (Jas. 4:6, 1 Pet. 5:5–6). God saves anyone He wishes to save and He wishes to save weak, humble, and repentant believers, regardless of their nationality (Ps. 18:27).
