3:9b

patient with you: Peter once again addressed his readers directly with the pronoun “you.” Perhaps the false teachers were influencing some of the people to whom Peter wrote this letter, and so he appealed directly to the people who would read his letter, rather than saying “patient with people.”

3:9c

perish: The Greek verb here belongs to the same group of words as the word translated “destruction” in 2:1e. See the note in that verse.
