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.

But {G1161}, beloved {G27}, be {G2990} not {G3361}{G5209} ignorant {G2990} of this one {G1520} thing {G5124}, that {G3754} one {G3391} day {G2250} is with {G3844} the Lord {G2962} as {G5613} a thousand {G5507} years {G2094}, and {G2532} a thousand {G5507} years {G2094} as {G5613} one {G3391} day {G2250}.

Moreover, dear friends, do not ignore this: with the Lord, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day

Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
