2 Peter 3:5-18
New International Version
5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word(A) the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.(B) 6 By these waters also the world of that time(C) was deluged and destroyed.(D) 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,(E) being kept for the day of judgment(F) and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.(G) 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,(H) as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient(I) with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.(J)
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.(K) The heavens will disappear with a roar;(L) the elements will be destroyed by fire,(M) and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a](N)
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward(O) to the day of God and speed its coming.[b](P) That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.(Q) 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,(R) where righteousness dwells.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless(S) and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience(T) means salvation,(U) just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.(V) 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable(W) people distort,(X) as they do the other Scriptures,(Y) to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard(Z) so that you may not be carried away by the error(AA) of the lawless(AB) and fall from your secure position.(AC) 18 But grow in the grace(AD) and knowledge(AE) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(AF) To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.(AG)

2 Peter 3:5-18
King James Version
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, 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 men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing 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 night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
5 Но они сознательно пренебрегают тем, что некогда вселенная была создана словом Всевышнего, что воды были собраны и появилась суша,[a] 6 а также тем, что посредством воды был разрушен прежний мир, будучи затоплен. 7 А нынешняя вселенная тем же словом Всевышнего сберегается для огня, она сохраняется до Судного дня и гибели безбожных людей.
8 Не забывайте одного, возлюбленные: для Вечного Повелителя один день, как тысяча лет, и тысяча лет, как один день.[b] 9 Вечный Повелитель не откладывает исполнения того, что Он обещал, хоть некоторые и называют это промедлением. Он долго терпит вас и ждёт, не желая, чтобы кто-нибудь погиб, но чтобы все покаялись.
10 День возвращения Вечного Повелителя придёт внезапно, словно вор. Тогда небосвод с громким шумом исчезнет, и небесные тела растворятся в огне, также и земля, и все дела на ней будут сожжены[c].
11 Если всё будет так разрушено, то какой святой и благочестивой жизнью вы должны жить, 12 ожидая с нетерпением прихода[d] дня Всевышнего, когда небосвод будет разрушен огнём и небесные тела расплавлены в невыносимом жаре?! 13 Но мы, по Его обещанию, ожидаем нового неба и новой земли,[e] где обитает праведность.
14 Поэтому, возлюбленные, в ожидании этого постарайтесь, чтобы Он нашёл вас в мире, незапятнанными и непорочными. 15 Долготерпение нашего Вечного Повелителя рассматривайте как спасение. О том же самом, по данной ему мудрости от Всевышнего, писал вам и наш дорогой брат Павлус. 16 Он пишет об этом во всех своих письмах. В них есть много такого, что вовсе не легко понять, что невежественные и неутверждённые люди искажают их, как и другие Писания, к своей собственной погибели.
17 Поэтому, возлюбленные, зная об этом заранее, будьте бдительны, чтобы вас не увлекли заблуждения беззаконников и вы не лишились твёрдой опоры. 18 Возрастайте в благодати и познании нашего Повелителя и Спасителя Исо Масеха. Ему принадлежит слава и сегодня, и в день вечности! Аминь.
