Romans 9:23
Compare all
21 Does not the apotter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make bone vessel for honor and another for dishonor?  
22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering athe vessels of wrath bprepared for destruction,  
23 and that He might make known athe riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had bprepared beforehand for glory,  
24 even us whom He acalled, bnot of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?  
25 As He says also in Hosea:
a“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.” 
26 “Anda it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.”  
27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel:
a“Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
bThe remnant will be saved. 
28 For1 He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
aBecause the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
