   In 1 Timothy 3:15, the first-person present active subjunctive form occurs in the possibility that the writer may be delayed before arriving; the APB renders the clause "if I am delayed." In 2 Peter 3:9, the third-person present active indicative form denies that the Lord is slow concerning the promise; the APB renders "does not delay the promise" and mentions what some count "slowness."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the verb with "am delayed" in 1 Timothy 3:15 and "does not delay" in 2 Peter 3:9, while also using "slowness" in the latter verse. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate meanings.
