2 Peter 3:5
Compare all
3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, awalking according to their own lusts,  
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of acreation.”  
5 For this they willfully forget: that aby the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth bstanding out of water and in the water,  
6 aby which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.  
7 But athe heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for bfire until the day of judgment and1 perdition of ungodly men.  
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and aa thousand years as one day.  
9 aThe Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but bis longsuffering toward us, cnot willing that any should perish but dthat all should come to repentance.  

The Day of the Lord

10 But athe day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which bthe heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be1 burned up.  
11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be ain holy conduct and godliness,  
12 alooking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will bbe dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will cmelt with fervent heat?  
13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for anew heavens and a bnew earth in which righteousness dwells.  

Be Steadfast

14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent ato be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;  
15 and consider that athe longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,  
16 as also in all his aepistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the brest of the Scriptures.
