The letter on the potter, the vessels of wrath and the vessels of mercy

토기장이와 진노의 그릇과 긍휼의 그릇에 대한 편지의 말

Romans 9:19–29: The letter says, “You will say then to me, ‘Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?’ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor? What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory— us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? As he says also in Hosea, ‘I will call them “my people,” which were not my people; and her “beloved,” who was not beloved.’ ‘It will be that in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” there they will be called “children of the living God.”’ Isaiah cries concerning Israel, ‘If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved; for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.’ As Isaiah has said before, ‘Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.’” At 9:25 the Korean Revised Version reads 호세아 글에도 이르기를 (in the writing of Hosea too, saying), naming no speaker, where WEB reads “As he says also in Hosea”; and at 9:28 it reads 주께서 땅 위에서 그 말씀을 이루사 필하시고 끝내시리라 (the Lord will accomplish the word on the earth, finish it and end it), where WEB reads “for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth”.
