2 Peter 3:6-10
English Standard Version
6 and that by means of these the world that then existed (A)was deluged with water and (B)perished. 7 But by the same word (C)the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and (D)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 (E)a thousand years as one day. 9 (F)The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise (G)as some count slowness, but (H)is patient toward you,[a] (I)not wishing that any should perish, but (J)that all should reach repentance. 10 But (K)the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then (L)the heavens will pass away with a roar, and (M)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]
