The Geneva Bible and 2 Peter 3:9

   Posted by: CalvinandCalvinism   in 2 Peter 3:9

The Geneva Bible:

The Lord is not slacke concerning his promes (as some men count slackeness) but is pacient towarde vs, and wolde haue no man to perish, but wold all men to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9; The Geneva Bible (1560 Edition).

Marginal Note:

Eze. 33.32. 1. Tim. 2.4. He speaketh not here of the secret & eternal counsel of God, whereby he electeth whom it pleases him, but of the preaching of the Gospel all are called and bidden to the banket. Matt. 24:44. I Thess. 5.2. & Revel. 3.3. & 16.15.1


1By 1576, The Lawrence Tomson edition, included many of Beza’s marginal notes, and so the revised note reads: “A reason why the latter day cometh not out of hand, because God does patiently wait to the elect are brought to repentance, that none of them may perish.”
