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 Kahore he whakaroa o te Ariki ki tana kupu whakaari, kahore e rite ki ta etahi e ki nei he whakaroa; engari e manawanui ana ki a tatou, kahore ona whakaaro mo te tangata kia ngaro; engari kia tae katoa ki te ripeneta.
