including us
This phrase emphasizes the inclusivity of God's call. The Greek word for "including" (καί) suggests a continuation or addition, indicating that the audience of God's call is broader than previously understood. Historically, the early church grappled with the inclusion of Gentiles, and this phrase reassures believers that God's plan encompasses all who respond to His call, transcending ethnic and cultural boundaries.

whom He has called
The word "called" (καλέω) in Greek implies a divine invitation or summons. This is not a mere human decision but an act initiated by God. In the context of Romans, Paul is addressing the sovereignty of God in salvation. The calling here is effectual, meaning it accomplishes what God intends, drawing individuals into a relationship with Him. This reflects the biblical theme of God's initiative in salvation history, as seen in the calling of Abraham and the nation of Israel.

not only from the Jews
This phrase acknowledges the historical reality that God's redemptive work began with the Jewish people. The Jews were the recipients of the covenants, the law, and the promises (Romans 9:4-5). However, Paul is making it clear that God's plan was never limited to one ethnic group. The phrase "not only" (οὐ μόνον) indicates a shift from exclusivity to inclusivity, aligning with the prophetic vision of a Messiah who would be a light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6).

but also from the Gentiles
The inclusion of the Gentiles (ἔθνη) is a radical and transformative concept in the early church. The term "Gentiles" refers to all nations outside of Israel, and their inclusion fulfills the promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through him (Genesis 12:3). This phrase underscores the universal scope of the gospel and God's desire for all people to come to repentance and faith. It reflects the early church's mission to spread the gospel beyond Jewish boundaries, as seen in the ministry of Paul and the apostles.

(24) 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.
