Week of Jan. 28, 2018 – 2 Peter 3:9

Welcome to our 4th week of memorizing scripture together in 2018 – Our primary source for memorization is the NKJV.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you this verse. Read the verse out loud 5 times a day, by yourself, with your family, with your Life Group.


NIV –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.

NLT –The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

Spanish – El Señor no retarda su promesa, según algunos la tienen por tardanza, sino que es paciente para con nosotros, no queriendo que ninguno perezca, sino que todos procedan al arrepentimiento.

Korean –주님은 어떤 사람들이 생각하듯이 약속을 지키는 데 더디신 분이 아니라 여러분에게 오래 참으셔서 아무도 멸망하지 않고 모두 회개하게 되기를 바라십니다.

Russian –Не медлит Господь [исполнением] обетования, как некоторые почитают то медлением; но долготерпит нас, не желая, чтобы кто погиб, но чтобы все пришли к покаянию.
