9 Não retarda o Senhor a sua promessa, como alguns a julgam demorada; pelo contrário, ele é longânimo para convosco, não querendo que nenhum pereça, senão que todos cheguem ao arrependimento.

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

9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
