⁹ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

¹¹ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

⁹ For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
