NASB | 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. |
Bible Question (short): Who are the "any" and "all" in verse 9 |
Question (full): I believe that the preceeding clause "but is patient toward you" ("you meaning the saints) indicates that the pronoun "any" points back to his audience which are the saints (also called "beloved"). I have persued this with Hank and Tim Moran and they feel "any" and "all" refer to any particular person universally. What say ye? |
