21. Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22. What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
23. and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
24. even us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
25. As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
26. And it shall be, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
27. And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
28. for the Lord will execute his word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
