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

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, 

make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 

Bear in mind that our Lords patience means salvation, 

just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 

He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 

 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, 

be on your guard 

so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. 

 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. 

2Peter 3:9,14-18
