⁸ who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye be unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵ to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord ^[a]Jesus.

¹⁴ as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ so that ye may ^[a]approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;

¹⁶ holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

2 Now we beseech you, brethren, ^[a]touching the ^[b]coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; ² to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;

¹⁸ (the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

⁸ But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the ^[a]elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be ^[b]burned up.
