* But this one thing , let it not escape you , beloved , that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years , and a thousand years as one day . * The Lord does not delay his promise in the manner some account delaying ; but he exercises long-suffering toward us , not desiring that any should perish , but that all should come to reformation . * However , as thief , the day of the Lord will come ; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise , and the elements burning shall be dissolved ; and the earth , and the works that are upon it , shall be utterly burned . * Seeing , then , all these things shall be dissolved ; -what sort of persons ought you to be , in holy behavior and godliness , * expecting and earnestly desiring , the coming of the day of God ; in which the heavens being set on fire , shall be dissolved , and the elements burning , shall be melted ? * But we , according to his promise , expect new heavens , and a new earth , in which dwells righteousness . * Wherefore , beloved , expecting these things , diligently endeavor to be found of him spotless , and irreproachable , in peace .
