2 Peter 3:9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ God will do what he promised. He is not slow though, as some people think he is. But he is waiting a long time for you. He does not want anyone to die, but he wants all people to stop their wrong ways.

¹⁰ The day of the Lord will come like a man who wants to steal. There will be a loud noise and the sky will go away. The elements will melt with fire and they will be gone. The earth and everything on it will be burned up.

¹¹ That is the way the whole world will go. So think what kind of people you should be! Think how holy and true to God your lives should be!
