New Testament

2 Peter 3:6-13 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

6. Through these, the world of that time was destroyed by being flooded with water.

7. But by the same word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire—kept until the Day of Judgment and the destruction of ungodly people.

8. But don’t forget this one thing, loved ones, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.

9. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some consider slowness. Rather, He is being patient toward you—not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

10. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements will melt and disintegrate, and the earth and everything done on it shall be exposed.

11. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? Live your lives in holiness and godliness,

12. looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God. In that day the heavens will be dissolved by fire, and the elements will melt in the intense heat.

13. But in keeping with His promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
