2 Peter / Question
Question source
2 Peter
Peter says the Lord is not slow as some count slowness, but is “patient.” He explains that this patience relates to not wanting any to perish but for repentance to occur. The point is that the delay is connected to God’s patience, not failure to act. See 2 Peter 3:9.
9The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is longsuffering towards us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
