4 ^cwho desires all people to be saved and to come to the ^dknowledge of the truth.

10 For to this end we toil and strive,¹ because ^rwe have our hope set on the living God, ^swho is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is ^hpatient toward you,^{1 i}not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
