It says the gifts and callings of God are without repentance
Although we are to account that the longsuffering of the Lord is salvation its also his goodness that leadeth us to repentence. He is longsuffering to us-ward, in that He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Repentance seems to be the goal of the former
His goodness leads us in to it and His longersuffering is toward us (even that which we are to account as salvation).
His longsuffering toward us is that he not willing that we should perish but there is still an objective, that we should all come to repentance.
Peter says the longsuffering waited in the days of Noah which "were sometime disobedient" even while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
We are to come to the obedience of the faith, thats what Paul said he was given the grace for (even for them to be a partaker in his) to make obedient all nations in word and in deed. Even as the grace of God teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
