2 Peter 3:8-13
2
Peter 3:8-13Holman
Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)8 Dear
friends, don’t let this one thing escape you: With the Lord one day is like a
thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord does not delay
His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not
wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.
10 But the
Day of the Lord will come like a thief;[a] on that day the heavens
will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and
the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.[b]11 Since all these things
are to be destroyed in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be
in holy conduct and godliness 12 as
you wait for and earnestly desire the coming[c] of the day of God. The
heavens will be on fire and be dissolved because of it, and the elements will
melt with the heat.13 But
based on His promise, we wait for the new heavens and a new earth, where
righteousness will dwell.
