2 Peter 3:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: For the Lord, one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to do what he promised, as some consider slowness. Instead, he is patient for your sakes,[a] not wanting anyone to perish, but all to come to repentance.
Live a Holy Life
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.[b] On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, the elements will be dissolved as they burn with great heat, and the earth and what was done on it will be burned up.[c]
