The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
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:
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.
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.
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.
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
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.
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
