2 Peter 3:7

3knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts

4and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

5For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,

6by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.

7But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

8But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

11Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
