2 Peter 3:15
_ _ account ... the long-suffering ... is salvation — is designed for the salvation of those yet to be gathered into the Church: whereas those scoffers “count it (to be the result of) slackness” on the Lord’s part (2 Peter 3:9).
_ _ our beloved brother Paul — a beautiful instance of love and humility. Peter praises the very Epistles which contain his condemnation.
_ _ according to the wisdom given unto him — adopting Paul’s own language, 1 Corinthians 3:10, “According to the grace of God which is given unto me as a wise master-builder.” Supernatural and inspired wisdom “GIVEN” him, not acquired in human schools of learning.
_ _ hath written — Greek aorist, “wrote,” as a thing wholly past: Paul was by this time either dead, or had ceased to minister to them.
_ _ to you — Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, the same region as Peter addresses. Compare “in peace,” 2 Peter 3:14, a practical exhibition of which Peter now gives in showing how perfectly agreeing Paul (who wrote the Epistle to the Galatians) and he are, notwithstanding the event recorded (Galatians 2:11-14). Colossians 3:4 refers to Christ’s second coming. The Epistle to the Hebrews, too (addressed not only to the Palestinian, but also secondarily to the Hebrew Christians everywhere), may be referred to, as Peter primarily (though not exclusively) addresses in both Epistles the Hebrew Christians of the dispersion (see on 1 Peter 1:1). Hebrews 9:27, Hebrews 9:28; Hebrews 10:25, Hebrews 10:37, “speak of these things” (2 Peter 3:16) which Peter has been handling, namely, the coming of the day of the Lord, delayed through His “long-suffering,” yet near and sudden. |
2 Peter 3:15
And account the longsuffering of the Lord salvation — Not only designed to lead men to repentance, but actually conducing thereto: a precious means of saving many more souls. As our beloved brother Paul also hath written to you — This refers not only to the single sentence preceding, but to all that went before. St. Paul had written to the same effect concerning the end of the world, in several parts of his epistles, and particularly in his Epistle to the Hebrews. Romans 2:4. |
2 Peter 3:15
And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; (12) even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
(12) Paul's epistles are allowed by the express testimony of Peter. |
- account:
2 Peter 3:9 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.
Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
