2 Peter 3 📜 📕 ↷

Day of the Lord

8 But this one thing be not ignorant of, my dearest, that one day with our Lord is as a thousand years, & a thousand years as one day.📜💬📚

9 Our Lord slacketh not his promise, as some do esteem it: but he doth patiently for you, not willing that any perish, but that all return to penance.📜💬📚

10 And the day of our Lord shall come as a thief, in the which the Heavens shall pass with great violence, but the elements shall be resolved with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt.📜💬📚

11 Therefore whereas all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of men ought you to be in holy conversations and godlinesses,📜💬📚

12 expecting and hasting unto the coming of the day of our Lord, by which the Heavens burning shall be resolved, and the elements shall melt with the heat of fire?📜💬📚

13 But we expect new Heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice inhabiteth.📜💬📚
