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): Why the change from "they" to "you"? |
Question (full): In 2 Peter 3, Peter talks about how the mockers mock, and "it escapes their notice that...". In verses 8 and 9 he switches from "they" to "he is patient toward you". Is this significant? How so? |
