2 Peter 3:9 in Context — 2 Peter 3
7 tandis que, par la même parole, les cieux et la terre d’à présent sont gardés et réservés pour le feu, pour le jour du jugement et de la ruine des hommes impies.
8 Mais il est une chose, bien-aimés, que vous ne devez pas ignorer, c’est que, devant le Seigneur, un jour est comme mille ans, et mille ans sont comme un jour.
9 Le Seigneur ne tarde pas dans l’accomplissement de la promesse, comme quelques-uns le croient; mais il use de patience envers vous, ne voulant pas qu’aucun périsse, mais voulant que tous arrivent à la repentance.
10 Le jour du Seigneur viendra comme un voleur; en ce jour, les cieux passeront avec fracas, les éléments embrasés se dissoudront, et la terre avec les œuvres qu’elle renferme sera consumée.
11 Puisque donc toutes ces choses doivent se dissoudre, quelles ne doivent pas être la sainteté de votre conduite et votre piété,
