What does Paul proceed to ask?...

"What if God, desiring to show His anger and to demonstrate His power, exercised patience in bearing with the objects of His wrath—the objects prepared for destruction? In so doing God was able to make known the riches of His glory on objects of mercy He prepared beforehand for glory. He called out the objects of mercy, even us, not only from among Jews but also from among the Gentiles. How shall we respond to this?"
