⁴ The Lord has made everything for his purpose, even the sinner for the day of evil.

²² What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

²¹ Even the people whom I made to be the witnesses of my praise.

⁸ And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God.

⁷ Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. So be it.

⁹ The Lord is able to keep the upright safe in the time of testing, and to keep evil-doers under punishment till the day of judging;

¹¹ It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.

³⁰ How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath?

³ And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.
