Dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape you: With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.(A) The Lord does not delay His promise,(B) as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any(C) to perish(D) but all to come to repentance.(E)

10 But the Day of the Lord(F) will come like a thief;[a](G) on that day the heavens will pass away(H) with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved,(I) and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.[b]
