## 2 Peter 3:10-11 in Context (Verses 7–14 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/8) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day *is* with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/11) *Seeing* then *that* all these things shall be dissolved, what manner *of persons* ought ye to be in *all* holy conversation and godliness,
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/12) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/13) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-peter/3/14) Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
 
[2 Peter 2](/kjv/2-peter/2) [1 John 1](/kjv/1-john/1)
