Bible Note: Greetings John! Which translation are you using of 2 Pet. 3:9 my friend? It seems to add an awfully lot of 'you's' that aren't in the text. The text reads: "The Lord does not delay the promise, as some understand slowness, but He is patient toward you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance." The pronoun 'you' is only used once in this verse. The last phrase uses the indifinite pronoun 'any' and the adjective 'all'. It would not be proper Greek to translate this as "any of you" or "all of you". Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
