Promise of the Lord’s Help

¹⁵ and consider that ^(A)the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

^9 (A)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but ^(B)is longsuffering toward ^[a]us, ^(C)not willing that any should perish but ^(D)that all should come to repentance.

The Day of the Lord

¹⁰ But ^(E)the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which ^(F)the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be ^[b]burned up.

⁷ And ^(A)shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

²² So the Lord could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you committed. Therefore your land is a desolation, an astonishment, a curse, and without an inhabitant, ^(A)as it is this day.

^11 (A)Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. ^12 (B)Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that ^(C)it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.
