It may be that God has borne, long and patiently, with those who are the objects of his vengeance, fit only for destruction, meaning to give proof of that vengeance, and display his power at last;✻ (Romans 9, 22)

We are the objects of his mercy; we, whom he has called, Jews and Gentiles alike. (Romans 9, 24)
That is what he says in the book of Osee, Those who were no people of mine, I will call my people; she who was unpitied and unloved shall be loved and pitied.✻ (Romans 9, 25)

So Isaias had said earlier on, If the Lord of Hosts had not left us a stock to breed from, we should have been like Sodom, we should have gone the way of Gomorrah.✻ (Romans 9, 29)

so we read in scripture, Behold, I am setting down in Sion one who is a stone to trip men’s feet, a boulder to catch them unawares; those who believe in him will not be disappointed.✻ (Romans 9, 33)
Brethren, they have all the good will of my heart, all my prayers to God, for their salvation. (Romans 10, 1)
That they are jealous for God’s honour, I can testify; but it is with imperfect understanding. (Romans 10, 2)
