2 Peter 3:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up.

¹¹ Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?
