18   Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
αρα ουν ον θελει ελεει ον δε θελει σκληρυνει

19   Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
ερεις ουν μοι τι ετι μεμφεται τω γαρ βουληματι αυτου τις ανθεστηκεν

20   Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
μενουνγε ω ανθρωπε συ τις ει ο ανταποκρινομενος τω θεω μη ερει το πλασμα τω πλασαντι τι με εποιησας ουτως

21   Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
η ουκ εχει εξουσιαν ο κεραμευς του πηλου εκ του αυτου φυραματος ποιησαι ο μεν εις τιμην σκευος ο δε εις ατιμιαν

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:
ει δε θελων ο θεος ενδειξασθαι την οργην και γνωρισαι το δυνατον αυτου ηνεγκεν εν πολλη μακροθυμια σκευη οργης κατηρτισμενα εις απωλειαν

23   And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
και ινα γνωριση τον πλουτον της δοξης αυτου επι σκευη ελεους α προητοιμασεν εις δοξαν

24   Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
ους και εκαλεσεν ημας ου μονον εξ ιουδαιων αλλα και εξ εθνων

25   As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
ως και εν τω ωσηε λεγει καλεσω τον ου λαον μου λαον μου και την ουκ ηγαπημενην ηγαπημενην

26   And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
και εσται εν τω τοπω ου ερρηθη αυτοις ου λαος μου υμεις εκει κληθησονται υιοι θεου ζωντος
