2 Peter 3:1-13 - ESV Bible - This is now the second letter that I am writing to...

The Day of the Lord Will Come

1 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them ¹I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,

2 ²that you should remember the predictions of ³the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles,

3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come ⁴in the last days with scoffing, ⁵following their own sinful desires.

4 ⁶They will say, "Where is the promise of ⁷his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation."

5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth ⁸was formed out of water and through water ⁹by the word of God,

6 and that by means of these the world that then existed ¹⁰was deluged with water and ¹¹perished.

7 But by the same word ¹²the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and ¹³destruction of the ungodly.

8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and ¹⁴a thousand years as one day.

9 ¹⁵The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise ¹⁶as some count slowness, but ¹⁷is patient toward you,^a¹⁸ not wishing that any should perish, but ¹⁹that all should reach repentance.

10 But ²⁰the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then ²¹the heavens will pass away with a roar, and ²²the heavenly bodies^b will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.^c

11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, ²³what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

12 ²⁴waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and ²⁵the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

13 But according to his promise we are waiting for ²⁶new heavens and a new earth ²⁷in which righteousness dwells.
