2 Peter 3:7-9 But by the same command the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, and are kept for the day when godless men are to be judged and destroyed.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ But by the same command the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, and are kept for the day when godless men are to be judged and destroyed. ⁸ But do not overlook this one fact, dear friends, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day. ⁹ The Lord is not slow about his promise, in the sense that some men think; he is really showing his patience with you, because he does not want any to perish, but wishes all men to be brought to repentance.
