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