2 Bible Commentaries on Romans 9: 22
2 Pet 3:9 “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.”
2 Pet 3:15-16 “And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; {16} As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”
God is longsuffering, giving all a change to repent. Paul is not teaching determinism here, and Peter condemns all who twist Romans 9 to teach determinism. Peter gives us the inspired interpretation of Romans 9, namely that the longsuffering of God is our salvation, if we will but utilize it and repent.

below “all a change to repent” should be “all a chance to repent”
