8 But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with {the} Lord {is} as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 {The} Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of {the} Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and {the} elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and {the} earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.
11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,
12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which {the} heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and {the} elements, burning with heat, shall melt?
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
