“And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,”
even us, whom he also called—not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? — The pronoun shifts from hypothetical to actual: ἡμᾶς (hēmas, "us")—believers—are the καλέω (kaleō, "called") σκεύη τοῦ ἐλέους (skeuē tou eleous, "vessels of mercy"). The call extends beyond Jews to Gentiles; election is now pluralistic. Paul's readers are those prepared for glory.
