8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.Select 2 Peter 3:8

9The 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.Select 2 Peter 3:9

10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.Select 2 Peter 3:10

11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,Select 2 Peter 3:11

12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?Select 2 Peter 3:12

13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.Select 2 Peter 3:13

14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.Select 2 Peter 3:14

15And 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;Select 2 Peter 3:15
