2 Peter 3:7 Context
5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heauens were of olde, and the earth standing out of the water, and in the water, 6Whereby the world that then was, being ouerflowed with water, perished. 7But the heauens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserued vnto fire against the day of Iudgement, and perdition of vngodly men. 8But (beloued) bee not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand yeeres, and a thousand yeeres as one day. 9The Lord is not slacke cōcerning his promise (as some men count slacknesse) but is long-suffring to vs-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
