2Peter:3:8-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But ,
beloved ,
be not ignorant (
5720 )
of this one thing ,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years ,
and a thousand years as one day .
*
The Lord is not slack (
5719 )
concerning his promise ,
as some men count (
5736 )
slackness ;
but is longsuffering (
5719 )
to us-ward ,
not willing (
5740 )
that any should perish (
5641 ),
but that all should come (
5658 )
to repentance .
*
But the day of the Lord will come (
5692 )
as a thief in the night ;
in the which the heavens shall pass away (
5695 )
with a great noise ,
and the elements shall melt (
5701 )
with fervent heat (
5746 ),
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up (
5691 ).
*
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved (
5746 ),
what manner of persons ought (
5748 )
ye to be (
5721 )
in all holy conversation and godliness ,
*
Looking for (
5723 )
and hasting (
5723 )
unto the coming of the day of God ,
wherein the heavens being on fire (
5746 )
shall be dissolved (
5701 ),
and the elements shall melt (
5743 )
with fervent heat (
5746 )?
*
Nevertheless we ,
according to his promise ,
look for (
5719 )
new heavens and a new earth ,
wherein dwelleth (
5719 )
righteousness .
*
Wherefore ,
beloved ,
seeing that ye look for (
5723 )
such things ,
be diligent (
5657 )
that ye may be found (
5683 )
of him in peace ,
without spot ,
and blameless .
