- Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?
- What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?
- And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,
- even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.
- As He says also in Hosea, "I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, 'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED.'"

- �o匠難道沒有權柄、從一團泥裡拿一塊作成貴重的器皿、又拿一塊作成卑賤的器皿麼。
- 倘若 神要顯明他的忿怒、彰顯他的權能、就多多忍耐寬容那可怒豫備遭毀滅的器皿.
- 又要將他豐盛的榮耀、彰顯在那蒙憐憫早豫備得榮耀的器皿上.
- 這器皿就是我們被 神所召的、不但是從猶太人中、也是從外邦人中、這有甚麼不可呢。
- 就像 神在何西阿書上說、『那本來不是我子民的、我要稱為我的子民.本來不是蒙愛的、我要稱為蒙愛的。
