2 Peter 3:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]Wherefore the world that then was, perished, overflowed with the [b]water.
7 [c]But the heavens and earth, which are now, are kept by the same word in store, and reserved unto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of ungodly men.
8 [d]Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, (A)as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
