But if God, desiring to display wrath, and to make His power known, endured in much long-suffering vessels of wrath having been fitted out for destruction,
to the ones disobeying, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, an ark being prepared, into which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation, as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom having been given to him;
The Lord of the promise is not slow, as some deem slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing any to perish, but all to turn one’s self to repentance.
And men were burned with great heat. And they blasphemed the name of God, the One having authority over these plagues, and they did not repent to give Him glory.
