If, now, God, although having the will to demonstrate his wrath and to make his power known, tolerated with much long - suffering vessels of wrath made fit for destruction, in order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory, namely, us, whom he called not only from among Jews but also from among nations, what of it? ” ​ — Romans 9: 21 - 24.
Eks Jumal, tahtes osutada oma viha ja teha teatavaks oma väge, suure pikameelega sallinud vihaastjaid, mis olid valmistatud hukatuseks, ja teinud seda selleks, et ilmutada oma au rikkust armuastjate vastu, mis ta ette oli valmistanud aulisteks, nõnda nagu tema on kutsunud ka meid, mitte ainult juutide, vaid ka paganate seast? ” — Roomlastele 9: 21 — 24.
