'Obtained Mercy' in the Bible

And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them that were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:

though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.

who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
