22 [a]What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with great (A)patience objects of wrath (B)prepared for destruction? 23 And He did so to make known (C)the riches of His glory upon (D)objects of mercy, which He (E)prepared beforehand for glory, 24 namely us, whom He also (F)called, (G)not only from among Jews, but also from among Gentiles, 25 as He also says in Hosea:

(H)I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’
And her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’”
26 (I)And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of (J)the living God.”
