2 Peter 3:9a

OU BRADUNEI KURIOS TNS EPAGGELIAS...

2 Peter 3:13a

KAINOUS DE OURANOUS KAI GHN KAINHN KATA TO EPAGGELMA AUTOU PROSDOKWMEN,...


I am wondering if there is any significant difference in the words EPAGGELIA
and EPAGGELMA is these verses.  The author of 2 Peter repeats a lot of
vocabulary in this section (I'm translating the RCL pericope for Sunday, 2
Peter 3:8-15a), and I'm curious why two different but clearly related words
are used rather than repeating EPAGGELIA.

Thanks and Blessings,
