Greek Commentary for Romans 9:19
Old verb, to blame. In N.T. only here and Hebrews 8:8. Paul‘s imaginary objector picks up the admission that God hardened Pharaoh‘s heart. “Still” (ετι eti) argues for a change of condition since that is true. [source]

I will make Future active of συντελεω sunteleō old compound verb to accomplish as in Mark 13:4; Romans 9:28. A new covenant In Hebrews 12:24 we have διατηκης νεας diathēkēs neas but καινης kainēs in 1 Corinthians 11:25. Καινος Kainos is fresh, on new lines as opposed to the old (παλαιος palaios) as in 2 Corinthians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 3:14; νεος neos is young or not yet old. [source]
