9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone 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.
