Charles Ellicott Commentary Romans 9:24

"[even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?" — Romans 9:24 (ASV)

Even us.—So far the form of the sentence had been abstract—“vessels of wrath,” “vessels of glory.” Now the Apostle explains who are meant by these abstract terms. The “vessels of glory” are those who were intended to accept the Christian teaching, whether Jews or Gentiles. The “vessels of wrath” are the unbelieving mass of the people of Israel.
