    2to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior communicated through your apostles.

    3First of all, you should understand that in the last days, mockers will come, following their own evil desires,

    4and they will say, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, everything continues just as it has from the beginning of creation.'

    5For they deliberately ignore this fact: that the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God.

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

    7But by the same word, the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and the destruction of ungodly people.

    8But do not let this one thing escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

    9The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wanting any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

    10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
