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:

willing. 17 1:18 2:4,5 Ex 9:16 Ps 90:11 Pr 16:4 Re 6:16,17

work. or, account. and cut. Isa 28:22 30:12-14 Da 9:26,27 Mt 24:21

in righteousness. Ps 9:8 65:5 Isa 5:16 Ac 17:31 Re 19:11

29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

Except. Isa 1:9 6:13 La 3:22

Sabaoth. Jas 5:4

hath. 3:20 4:14,15 11:7 Ga 3:10,11 5:3,4 Jas 2:10,11

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

Because. 4:16 10:3 Mt 19:16-20 Joh 6:27-29 Ac 16:30-34 1Jo 5:9-12

they stumbled. 11:11 Mt 13:57 Lu 2:34 7:23 1Co 1:23
