2 Peter 3:7-9

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

⁷ And by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored-up for fire, being reserved for the day of the judgment and destruction of ungodly people.

He Is Being Patient Now, But The Day of Destruction Will Come Like a Thief

⁸ But do not let this one thing be escaping your notice, beloved— that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. ⁹ The Lord is not being slow about^[a] the promise as some regard slowness, but He is being patient toward you, not wishing^[b] any to perish, but all to make-room^[c] for repentance.
