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.

Ver. 9. Not willing that any one should perish] See Trapp on " 1Ti 2:4 " Not willing that any of his should perish.

But that all should come to repentance] Gr. χωρησαι, withdraw, go aside, retire into some private place for the purpose of repentance. It is a great work and requires privacy. He that will make verses or do anything serious that requires study, will get alone, sequester himself from company. He that would commune with his own heart, pour forth his soul, and make his peace with God, must get into a corner. "He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence," Lamentations 3:28; he summons the sobriety of his senses before his own judgment, and thinking seriously on his evil ways, "he turneth his feet to God's testimonies," Psalms 119:59 .
