2 Peter 3:8-14 Beloved, you must not ignore this one fact, that with the Lord a single day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a single day.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Beloved, you must not ignore this one fact, that with the Lord a single day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a single day. ⁹ The Lord is not slow with what he promises, according to certain people's idea of slowness; no, he is longsuffering for your sake, he does not wish any to perish but all to betake them to repentance. ¹⁰ The day of the Lord will come like a thief, when the heavens will vanish with crackling roar, the stars will be set ablaze and melt, the earth and all its works will disappear. ¹¹ Now as all things are thus to be dissolved, what holy and pious men ought you to be in your behaviour, ¹² you who expect and hasten the advent of the Day of God, which dissolves the heavens in fire and makes the stars blaze and melt! ¹³ It is new heavens and a new earth that we expect, as He has promised, and in them dwells righteousness. ¹⁴ Then, beloved, as you are expecting this, be eager to be found by him unspotted and unblemished in serene assurance.
