BibleNew Testament2 Peter

KJV

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. 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.


C. C. Walker cites verse 8 while arguing against a literal reading of Exodus 20:11.
