'Objects' in the Bible

And what if God, desiring to display His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience objects of wrath ready for destruction?

And what if He did this to make known the riches of His glory on objects of mercy that He prepared beforehand for glory—

For as indeed ye also once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of these;

so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that they also may be objects of mercy.
