2 Peter 3:3-12

MLV(i) 3 Knowing this first, that mockers will be coming in the last of the days, conducting-themselves according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, Where is the promise of his presence? For from which time the fathers fell-asleep, thus all things remain as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this is eluding them, (willing it to be so): that there were heavens from long-ago, and an earth established out of water and through water by the word of God; 6 through which water, the world which was then was destroyed, having been flooded in water. 7 But the current heavens and the earth have been stored up for fire by the same word, being kept to the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 But beloved, let this one thing not elude you, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some deem slowness, but has patience toward us, not planning for any to perish, but for all to make room in your\'b0 hearts for repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will be coming like a thief in the night; in which the heavens will be passing away with a crashing-sound, and the elements will be dissolved, being burnt with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, with all these things being dissolved, see what sort of things you ought to possess in all holy conduct and godliness, 12 expecting, and diligently wanting the presence of the day of God, through which, the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt, being burnt with heat.
