New wine into new bottles. The new wine and the new bottle is preserved together.
New wine bursts old bottles, the wine is spilled, the bottles marred.
The vessel was marred in the hand of the potter, so the potter made another vessel as seemed good to him.
The God of peace sanctify you wholly, your whole spirit and soul be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
One vessel remains in dishonour, the potter makes another to honour..
Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Mark 2:22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Jeremiah 18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Again the Kingdom of Heaven is the gathering of the good into vessels, and the bad cast away.
To take away the dross from the silver, then there is a vessel for the finer.
Taking away the wicked from the King, then His throne is established in righteousness..
Matthew 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Proverbs 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
To bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
God will take of them for priests and Levites.
Jesus Christ the faithful witness, loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and made us kings and priests unto God the Father..
Isaiah 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Apostle Paul chosen vessel to the Lord, to suffer great things for Christs name..
Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Every one has to posess his vessel in sanctioficatioon and honour, not in the lust of sin as the ones who know not Gof.
Defrauding your brother in any matter is forewarned and testified to be avenged on you by God..
1 Thessalonians 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
But there are some vessels to honour and some to dishonour.
If a man through Christ did purge himself from these, then he would be a vessel unto honour, sanctified and meet for the Masters use, prepared unto every good work..
2 Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Really AG, so what about the Messiah's half brother James? It should be understood by every Christian that initial salvation is by faith alone but what of continual salvation that is proven afterward to those who believe? Is not continued faithfulness/ righteousness/ justification/works of the whole package of salvation to those who are born again? So you finish your post with only “no one will be justified out of the works of the law.”
James 2:20-26
20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21. >>>Was not Abraham our father justified by works, <<< when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23. And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

James 1:1
Jacob, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion, greeting
God had James/Jacob write to the twelve tribes just as surely as God had Paul write to the gentiles (Romans 11:13). Consider Galatians 2:7-9. Peter, James and John, representing the twelve, recognized the ministry that God gave to Paul.
"But, on the contrary, when They Saw that I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision even as Peter has been entrusted with the gospel of the circumcision(for he who worked in Peter for the apostleship of the circumcision, worked also in me for the apostleship of the gentiles), and when James, Peter and John(who were reputed to be pillars) came to know the grace given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we(would go) to the gentiles and they (would go) to the circumcision.
Peter, James and John were the leaders who had been originally sent into all the world by Christ (Matthew 28, mark 16, Luke 24). But here they recognize the grace given to Paul. And they give up that part of their commission.
One important thought that is overlooked regarding acts 15 and the Galatians 2 accounts of the conference is circumcision. What do I mean? I mean the whole issue. Why wasn't it an issue before this? Before Paul started his preaching of a law free, circumcision free gospel, there was no controversy.

Regarding the "faithfulness of Christ"
Since I mentioned it in my comments on Philippians 3 and Galatians 2-
Some translations have "faith in Christ" or "faith of Christ."
Here is a reference to Christ without his name. Ephesians 3:12
In whom we have the boldness and the access in confidence through his faithfulness. The revised standard version has "through faith in him." The problem is the new testament writers use the phrase "your faith." Translators never translate it as "faith in you." So why are they inconsistent? I know they believe they have sound linguistic reasons for their translation. Fortunately, there are a number of ancient Greek linguists who are promoting this understanding of the phrase, "faithfulness of Christ" and "his faithfulness."
