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: Does any refer all mankind or to God's elect only? |
Bible Answer: Hello Diddy, There are legitimate scriptural reasons both ways. My perspective is that it is speaking of the elect. The "you" can also be translated "on your account." Since Peter was addressing believers, it appears he meant all who would come to faith. Steve |
