Romans 9:19-24
Legacy Standard Bible
19 (A)You will say to me then, “(B)Why does He still find fault? For (C)who resists His will?” 20 On the contrary, who are you, (D)O man, who (E)answers back to God? (F)Will the thing molded say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this”? 21 Or does not the potter have authority over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel [a]for honorable use and another [b]for dishonorable use? 22 And [c]what if God, wanting to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much (G)patience vessels of wrath (H)having been prepared for destruction, 23 and in order that He might make known (I)the riches of His glory upon (J)vessels of mercy, which He (K)prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us, whom He also (L)called, (M)not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles?

Romans 9:19-24
New International Version
19 One of you will say to me:(A) “Then why does God still blame us?(B) For who is able to resist his will?”(C) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(D) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(E) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[a](F) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(G)
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(H) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(I) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(J) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(K)— 24 even us, whom he also called,(L) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?(M)
