2 Peter 3:8-14

8But forget not this oneG1520 thingG3778, belovedG27, that oneG1520 dayG2250 is with the LordG2962 as a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, and a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 as oneG1520 dayG2250. 9The LordG2962 is not slack concerning his promiseG1860, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perishG622, but that all should come to repentanceG3341. 10But the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 as a thiefG2812; in the which the heavensG3772 shall passG3928 awayG3928 with a great noise, and the elementsG4747 shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earthG1093 and the worksG2041 that are therein shall be burnedG2618 up. 11Seeing that these thingsG3778 are thus all to be dissolved, what mannerG391 of persons oughtG1163 ye to be in all holyG40 living and godlinessG2150, 12lookingG4328 for and earnestly desiring the coming of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, by reason of which the heavensG3772 being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elementsG4747 shall melt with fervent heat? 13But, accordingG2596 to his promise, we lookG4328 for newG2537 heavensG3772 and a newG2537 earthG1093, wherein dwelleth righteousnessG1343.

14Wherefore, belovedG27, seeing that ye lookG4328 for these thingsG3778, give diligence that ye may be foundG2147 in peaceG1515, without spot and blameless in his sight.
