(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τήν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν μακροθυμίαν σωτηρίαν ἡγεῖσθε καθώς καί ὁ ἀγαπητός ἡμῶν ἀδελφός Παῦλος κατά τήν δοθεῖσαν αὐτῷ σοφίαν ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν)

Because the Lord is patient, the day of judgment has not yet happened. This gives people an opportunity to repent and be saved, as Peter explained in [3:9](../03/09.md).
