Greek/English Interlinear with Strong’s Numbers
2 Pet. 3 - Greek/English/Strong’s Interlinear


King James Version

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
New King James Version

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
New American Standard Bible

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
New International Version

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.
The Amplified Bible

The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

The Lord is not tardy with regard to the appointed time of His promise, as certain consider tardiness, but is long-suffering toward us, not having it as His considered will that certain should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Phillips’ Modern English

It is not that He is dilatory about keeping His own promise as some men seem to think; the fact is that He is very patient with you. He has no wish that any man should be destroyed; He wishes that all men should find the way to repentance.
Williams’ Language of the People

The Lord is not slow about His promise, in the sense in which some think of slowness, but He is really dealing patiently with you, because He is not willing for any to perish but for all to have an opportunity to repent.
KJV with Strong’s Numbers

The 3588 Lord 2962 is not 3756 slack 1019 concerning His promise, 1860 as 5613 some men 5100 count 2233 slackness; 1022 but 235 is longsuffering 3114 to 1519 us-ward, 2248 not 3361 willing 1014 that any 5100 should perish, 622 but 235 that all 3956 should come 5562 to 1519 repentance. 3341
