²² ·It is the same way with God. He [^LWhat if he…?] wanted to show his ·anger [wrath] and to let people see his power. But he ·patiently stayed with [endured with great patience] those ·people he was angry with [^Lvessels/objects of wrath]—people who were ·made ready [prepared] to be destroyed. ²³ He waited with patience so that he could make known ·his rich glory [the riches of his glory] to the ·people who receive his [^Lvessels/objects of] mercy. He has prepared these people ·to have his glory [to experience his glory; ^Lfor glory], ²⁴ and we are those people whom God called. He called us not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles.
