2 Peter 3:8 in Context — 2 Peter 3

6 Pelas quais o mundo anterior foi destruído, coberto com as águas do dilúvio.

7 E os céus e a terra de agora, pela mesma palavra estão reservados, e são guardados para o fogo até o dia do juízo, e da perdição das pessoas ímpias.

8 Mas amados, desta uma coisa não ignoreis: que um dia para o Senhor [é] como mil anos, e mil anos como um dia.

9 O Senhor não é tardio [em sua] promessa (como alguns [a] consideram tardia); mas ele é paciente para conosco, não querendo que alguns pereçam, mas sim que todos venham ao arrependimento.

10 Mas o dia do Senhor virá como um ladrão durante a noite, no qual os céus se desfarão com grande estrondo, e os elementos queimando se dissolverão, e a terra e as obras que nela [há] serão queimadas.
