# Also, consider the patience of our Lord to be salvation

Because the Lord is patient, the day of judgment has not yet happened. This gives people an opportunity to repent and be saved, as he explained in 2 Peter 3:9. Alternate translation: "Also, think about the patience of our Lord as giving people an opportunity to repent and be saved" 

# according to the wisdom that was given to him

"according to the wisdom that God gave to him"
