2 Peter 3:4-10
English Standard Version
4 (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.” 5 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, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed (E)was deluged with water and (F)perished. 7 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.
8 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. 9 (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]

2 Peter 3:4-10
New International Version
4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?(A) Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”(B) 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word(C) the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.(D) 6 By these waters also the world of that time(E) was deluged and destroyed.(F) 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,(G) being kept for the day of judgment(H) 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.(I) 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,(J) as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient(K) with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.(L)
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.(M) The heavens will disappear with a roar;(N) the elements will be destroyed by fire,(O) and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a](P)

(H)Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ 28 (I)In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see (J)Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but (K)you yourselves cast out.
