KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
God isn't dragging his feet on his promises like people think he is. He's actually being incredibly patient with us because he doesn't want anyone to be lost forever — he wants everyone to have the chance to turn their lives around.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's timing isn't slow, it's patient — he's giving everyone more time to find their way back to him.
