⁴ The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

²² 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:

²¹ This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

⁸ And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

⁷ Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

⁹ The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

¹¹ Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

³⁰ That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

³ And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
