2 Peter 3:8-10
English Standard Version
8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and (A)a thousand years as one day. 9 (B)The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise (C)as some count slowness, but (D)is patient toward you,[a] (E)not wishing that any should perish, but (F)that all should reach repentance. 10 But (G)the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then (H)the heavens will pass away with a roar, and (I)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]
