     From: 新標點和合本 (Chinese Union Version with New Punctuation), 彼得後書 (2 Peter) 3:9

     Zhǔ suǒ yīngxǔ de shàngwèi chéngjiù, yǒu rén yǐwèi tā shì dānyán, qíshí bùshì dānyán, nǎishì kuānróng nǐmen, bùyuàn yǒu yīrén chénlún, nǎi yuàn rénrén dōu huǐgǎi. [Pinyin]

     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.
