- �o匠難道沒有權柄、從一團泥裡拿一塊作成貴重的器皿、又拿一塊作成卑賤的器皿麼。
- 倘若 神要顯明他的忿怒、彰顯他的權能、就多多忍耐寬容那可怒豫備遭毀滅的器皿.
- 又要將他豐盛的榮耀、彰顯在那蒙憐憫早豫備得榮耀的器皿上.
- 這器皿就是我們被 神所召的、不但是從猶太人中、也是從外邦人中、這有甚麼不可呢。
- 就像 神在何西阿書上說、『那本來不是我子民的、我要稱為我的子民.本來不是蒙愛的、我要稱為蒙愛的。

- Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
- What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
- And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
- Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
- As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
