And then Paul wrote: “If, now, God, although having the will to demonstrate his wrath and to make his power known, tolerated with much long - suffering vessels of wrath made fit for destruction, in order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory, namely, us, whom he called not only from among Jews but also from among nations, what of it?
سپس پولُس نوشت :‏ « اگر خدا چون اراده نمود که غضب خود را ظاهر سازد و قدرت خویش را بشناساند ،‏ ظروف غضب را که برای هلاکت آماده شده بود ،‏ به حِلم بسیار متحمّل گردید ،‏ و تا دولت جلال خود را بشناساند بر ظروف رحمتی که آنها را از قبل برای جلال مستعّد نمود ،‏ و آنها را نیز دعوت فرمود یعنی ما نه از یهود فقط بلکه از امّت‌ها نیز .‏
