'Vessels' in the Bible

And [what] if God, wanting to demonstrate his wrath and to make known his power, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?

And [he did so] in order that he could make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy that he prepared beforehand for glory,

Now in a great house [there] are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthenware [ones], some of which [are] for honorable use, and some of which [are] for ordinary use.
