For who withstandeth his will?<br> 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?<br> 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?<br> 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:<br> 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,<br> 24 (even) us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?<br> 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.<br>
