⁴⁸ But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

¹⁹ After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

³⁷ For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

⁴ And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

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.
