2 Peter 3:7-10
English Standard Version
7 But by the same word (A)the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and (B)destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and (C)a thousand years as one day. 9 (D)The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise (E)as some count slowness, but (F)is patient toward you,[a] (G)not wishing that any should perish, but (H)that all should reach repentance. 10 But (I)the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then (J)the heavens will pass away with a roar, and (K)the heavenly bodies[b] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.[c]
