Romans 9:21

In context

19You will say to me, then, “Why does he still find fault? Who has ever resisted his will?” 20But who are you, my friend, to answer God back? Will the thing that was shaped say to the one who shaped it, “Why did you make me like this?” 21Does the potter not have the right over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22And what if God, wanting to display his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the vessels of wrath, fitted out for destruction, 23in order to make known the wealth of his glory to the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared beforehand for glory?
