2 Peter 3:5-13
5For 1when they maintainG2309 thisG3778, it escapesG2990 their noticeG2990 that 2by the wordG3056 of GodG2316 the heavensG3772 existedG1510 longG1597 agoG1597 and the earthG1093 was 3formedG4921 out of waterG5204 and by waterG5204, 6throughG1223 whichG3739 4the worldG2889 at that timeG5119 was 5destroyedG622 by being floodedG2626 with waterG5204. 7But by His wordG3056 6the presentG3568 heavensG3772 and earthG1093 are being reservedG2343 for 7fireG4442, keptG5083 for 8the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 and destructionG684 of ungodlyG765 peopleG444.
8But do not let thisG3778 oneG1520 fact escapeG2990 your noticeG2990, 9belovedG27, that with the LordG2962 oneG1520 dayG2250 is likeG5613 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, and 10a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 likeG5613 oneG1520 dayG2250. 911The LordG2962 is not slowG1019 about His promiseG1860, as someG5100 countG2233 slownessG1022, but 12isG3114 patientG3114 towardG1519 you, 13not willingG1014 for anyG5100 to perishG622, but for allG3956 to comeG5562 to repentanceG3341. 10But 14the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 15will comeG2240 likeG5613 a thiefG2812, in whichG3739 16the heavensG3772 17will passG3928 awayG3928 with a roarG4500 and the 18elementsG4747 will be destroyedG3089 withG2741 intenseG2741 heatG2741, and 19the earthG1093 and 20its worksG2041 will be 21discoveredG2147.
11Since allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 are to be destroyedG3089 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779, whatG4217 sortG4217 of people oughtG1163 you to be in holyG40 conductG391 and godlinessG2150, 1222lookingG4328 forG4328 and hasteningG4692 the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, becauseG1223 of whichG3739 23the heavensG3772 will be destroyedG3089 by burningG4448, and the 24elementsG4747 will meltG5080 with intenseG2741 heatG2741! 13But accordingG2596 to His 25promiseG1862 we are lookingG4328 forG4328 26newG2537 heavensG3772 and a newG2537 earthG1093, 27in whichG3739 righteousnessG1343 dwellsG2730.
