What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with. God? It can not be. For he says to Moses: I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy; and I will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.

Therefore, he has mercy on whom he wills to have mercy: and whom he wills to harden, he hardens. You will then say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will? No, but rather, O man, who are you that dispute with God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed, it, Why have you made me thus?

What, then, if God, intending to show his wrath, and to make his power known, yet, in much long-suffering bore with the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction: and, that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he before prepared for glory, showed mercy to us, whom he has called, not only from among the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
