2 Peter 3:8-13

« 2 Pet 22 Pet 31 John 1 »

8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, ^abeloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and ^ba thousand years like one day. 9 ^aThe Lord is not slow about His promise, as some consider slowness, but ^bis patient toward you, ^cnot willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 10 But ^athe day of the Lord ^bwill come like a thief, in which ^cthe heavens ^dwill pass away with a roar and the ^eelements will be destroyed with intense heat, and ^fthe earth and ¹its works will be ²found out.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 ^alooking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which ^bthe heavens burning will be destroyed, and the ^celements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His ^apromise we are looking for ^bnew heavens and a new earth, ^cin which righteousness dwells.
