2 Peter 3:7 in Context — 2 Peter 3

5 Cierto ellos ignoran voluntariamente, que los cielos fueron en el tiempo antiguo, y la tierra que por agua y en agua está asentada, por la palabra de Dios;

6 Por lo cual el mundo de entonces pereció anegado en agua:

7 Mas los cielos que son ahora, y la tierra, son conservados por la misma palabra, guardados para el fuego en el día del juicio, y de la perdición de los hombres impíos.

8 Mas, oh amados, no ignoréis esta una cosa: que un día delante del Señor es como mil años y mil años como un día.

9 El Señor no tarda su promesa, como algunos la tienen por tardanza; sino que es paciente para con nosotros, no queriendo que ninguno perezca, sino que todos procedan al arrepentimiento.
