[:en]”But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (vs. 8-9)
“But the of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare” (v. 10)
“You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness” (vs. 11-13)
“Make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation” (v. 14-15)
“Be on guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawlessmen and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (V. 17-18)
