Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
All Commentaries on Romans 9:21 Go To Romans 9
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Given that our nature sinned in paradise, we are now formed through a mortal begetting by the same divine providence, not according to heaven but according to earth, i. e., not according to the spirit but according to the flesh, and we have all become one mass of clay, i.e., a mass of sin.
