^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 ^(A)the riches of His glory upon ^(B)objects of mercy, which He ^(C)prepared beforehand for glory,

²¹ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and ^(A)faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will ^(B)put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your ^[a]master.’

³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, ^(A)inherit the kingdom prepared for you ^(B)from the foundation of the world.

⁸ in the future there ^(A)is reserved for me ^(B)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on ^(C)that day; and not only to me, but also to ^(D)all who have loved His ^(E)appearing.

⁴⁶ These will go away into ^(A)eternal punishment, but the righteous into ^(B)eternal life.”
