(A)They will say, “Where is the promise of (B)his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth (C)was formed out of water and through water (D)by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed (E)was deluged with water and (F)perished. But by the same word (G)the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and (H)destruction of the ungodly.

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and (I)a thousand years as one day. (J)The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise (K)as some count slowness, but (L)is patient toward you,[a] (M)not wishing that any should perish, but (N)that all should reach repentance. 10 But (O)the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then (P)the heavens will pass away with a roar, and (Q)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]

11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, (R)what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 (S)waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and (T)the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!
