Well, perhaps you could address the question I posed concerning verse 22? "What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?…" What is the difference in "preparation" of "vessels of wrath" and "vessels of mercy?"
