*
For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh , "
For this very purpose I have raised you up ,
that I may show My power in you ,
and that My name may be declared in all the earth ."
*
Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills ,
and whom He wills He hardens .
*
You will say to me then , "
Why does He still find fault ?
For who has resisted His will ?"
*
But indeed ,
O man ,
who are you to reply against God ?
Will the thing formed say to him who formed it , "
Why have you made me like this ?"
*
Does not the potter have power over the clay ,
from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor ?
*
What if God ,
wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known ,
endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction ,
*
and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy ,
which He had prepared beforehand for glory ,
