Irenaeus

Against Heresies Book IV (202)

For this reason did Hosea the prophet take "a wife of whoredoms," prophesying by means of the action, "that in committing fornication the earth should fornicate from the Lord," that is, the men who are upon the earth; and from men of this stamp it will be God's good pleasure to take out a Church which shall be sanctified by fellowship with His Son, just as that woman was sanctified by intercourse with the prophet. And for this reason, Paul declares that the "unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband."

Former badness is no bar to God's present grace and mercy.-- And her beloved which was not beloved. Those whom God calls his people he calls beloved: he loves those that are his own.

As he saith also - The doctrine which he had established, he proceeds now to confirm by quotations from the writings of Jews, that he might remove every objection. The doctrine was, (1) That God intended to call his people from the Gentiles as well as the Jews. (2) That he was bound by no promise and no principle of obligation to bestow salvation on all the Jews. (3) That, therefore, it was right for him to reject any or all of the Jews, if he chose, and cut them off from their privileges as a people and from salvation.
