Eze 16:6-8, Mat 19:30, Act 9:15, 26:16, Rom 5:20, 9:15-24, 10:20, Gal 1:15-16 | ESV | STEP | And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood , I said to you in your blood , Live ! I said to you in your blood , Live !

6 “And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing ^ain your blood, I said to you ^bin your blood, ‘Live!’ I said to you ^cin your blood, ‘Live!’ 7 ^dI made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall ^eand arrived at full adornment. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet ^fyou were naked and bare.

8 “When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and ^gI spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you ^hand entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, ⁱand you became mine.

19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For ^vwho can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, ^wto answer back to God? ^xWill what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 ^yHas the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump ^zone vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience ^aavessels of wrath ^abprepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known ^acthe riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he ^adhas prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he ^aehas called, ^afnot from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?
