²² What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:

²¹ the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

⁸ and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

⁷ every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him `be' the glory for ever. Amen.

⁹ the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;

¹¹ Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.

³⁰ That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

³ And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.
