Romans 9:19-26

English Standard Version

¹⁹You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For ^(A)who can resist his will?” ²⁰But who are you, O man, ^(B)to answer back to God? ^(C)Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” ²¹^(D)Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump ^(E)one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? ²²What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience ^(F)vessels of wrath ^(G)prepared for destruction, ²³in order to make known ^(H)the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he ^(I)has prepared beforehand for glory— ²⁴even us whom he ^(J)has called, ^(K)not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? ²⁵As indeed he says in Hosea,

^(L)“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”
²⁶^(M)“And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ^(N)‘sons of the living God.’”
