8 But, this one thing, forget not, beloved,––that, one day, with the Lord, is as a thousand years, and, a thousand years, as one day.
9 The Lord is, not slack, concerning his promise, as some count, slackness; but is long–suffering with regard to you, not being minded that any should perish, but that, all, unto repentance, should come. 10 Howbeit the day of the Lord will be here, as a thief,––in which, the heavens, with a rushing noise, will pass away, while, elements, becoming intensely hot, will be dissolved, and, earth, and the works therein, will be discovered.
