2 Peter 3:8-14
8But do not let thisG3778 oneG1520 fact escapeG2990 your noticeG2990, 1belovedG27, that with the LordG2962 oneG1520 dayG2250 is likeG5613 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, and 2a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 likeG5613 oneG1520 dayG2250. 93The LordG2962 is not slowG1019 about His promiseG1860, as someG5100 countG2233 slownessG1022, but 4isG3114 patientG3114 towardG1519 you, 5not willingG1014 for anyG5100 to perishG622, but for allG3956 to comeG5562 to repentanceG3341. 10But 6the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 7will comeG2240 likeG5613 a thiefG2812, in whichG3739 8the heavensG3772 9will passG3928 awayG3928 with a roarG4500 and the 10elementsG4747 will be destroyedG3089 withG2741 intenseG2741 heatG2741, and 11the earthG1093 and 12its worksG2041 will be 13discoveredG2147.
11Since allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 are to be destroyedG3089 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779, whatG4217 sortG4217 of people oughtG1163 you to be in holyG40 conductG391 and godlinessG2150, 1214lookingG4328 forG4328 and hasteningG4692 the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, becauseG1223 of whichG3739 15the heavensG3772 will be destroyedG3089 by burningG4448, and the 16elementsG4747 will meltG5080 with intenseG2741 heatG2741! 13But accordingG2596 to His 17promiseG1862 we are lookingG4328 forG4328 18newG2537 heavensG3772 and a newG2537 earthG1093, 19in whichG3739 righteousnessG1343 dwellsG2730.
1420ThereforeG1352, 21belovedG27, since you lookG4328 forG4328 theseG3778 thingsG3778, be diligentG4704 to be 22foundG2147 23spotlessG784 and blamelessG298 by Him, at peaceG1515,
