Romans 9:22-24 CEV ...God wanted to show his anger and reveal his power against everyone who deserved to be destroyed. But instead, he patiently put up with them. (23) He did this by showing how glorious he is when he has pity on the people he has chosen to share in his glory. (24) Whether Jews or Gentiles, we are those chosen ones, [2 Chron 16:9; John 6:44] [God has called all who will hear. (Mat 17:5)]
It's very important to understand: God long ago made people "fit for destruction" only as a likely "unidentified class" of persons; all those who would refuse his help and so judge themselves wicked and rebellious. (Eze 18:20) He then searched through mankind (2 Chron 16:9) to identify every single individual who would allow themselves to be made righteous heirs of Abraham. (Gal 3:19-29) Every person alive has thus decided their own fate... (John 3:19 of 16-21) The truth is beautiful without measure! (Isa 52:7-10)
Romans 9:22-24 ALT ...So [what] if God, desiring to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath having been prepared for destruction, (23) and so that He should make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, (24) even us whom He called [2 Chron 16:9; John 6:44] not only from Jews, but also from Gentiles? [God has called all who will hear. (Mat 17:5)]

Romans 9:22-24 ESV ...What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, (23) in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory-- (24) even us whom he has called, [2 Chron 16:9; John 6:44] not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? [God has called all who are willing to hear. (Mat 17:5)]

Romans 9:22-24 GW ...If God wants to demonstrate his anger and reveal his power, he can do it. But can't he be extremely patient with people who are objects of his anger because they are headed for destruction? (23) Can't God also reveal the riches of his glory to people who are objects of his mercy and who he had already prepared for glory? (24) This is what God did for us whom he called [2 Chron 16:9; John 6:44] -whether we are Jews or not. [God has called all who will hear. (Mat 17:5)]

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
