Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Study Note
Paul's 'even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?' climaxes his argument that God's sovereign election operates beyond ethnic boundaries — the 'vessels of mercy' (9:23) include both. The verse connects the preceding pottery metaphor (9:20-23) to the historical reality of the Gentile mission, showing that Paul's practice is grounded in God's own purpose. The following citations of Hosea 2:23 and 1:10 ('I will call them my people who were not my people') provide the prophetic warrant, demonstrating that Gentile inclusion was always written into Israel's scripture. This hermeneutical move — reading Israel's prophets as speaking about Gentile reception of the gospel — is characteristic of Paul's missionary interpretation of the Old Testament.
