2 Peter 3:8-10 NWT
8 However, let this one fact not be escaping your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah   ( ) as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. (Psa. 90:4) 9 Jehovah ( ) is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 10 Yet Jehovah's ( 's) day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered.

2 Peter 3:8-10 ISV
Don't forget this fact, dear friends: With the Lord  ( ) a single day is like a 1,000 years, and a 1,000 years are like a single day. (9) The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some people understand slowness, but is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to perish, but wants everyone to come to repentance. (10) But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will disappear with a roaring sound, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done on it will be exposed.

2 Peter 3:8-10 CEV
(8) Dear friends, don't forget that for the Lord ( ) one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years is the same as one day. (Psa. 90:4) (9) The Lord isn't slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost. (10) The day of the Lord's return will surprise us like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a loud noise, and the heat will melt the whole universe. Then the earth and everything on it will be seen for what they are.

2 Peter 3:8-10 GW
(8) Dear friends, don't ignore this fact: One day with the Lord ( ) is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. (Psa. 90:4) (9) The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act. (10) The day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day heaven will pass away with a roaring sound. Everything that makes up the universe will burn and be destroyed. The earth and everything that people have done on it will be exposed.

2 Peter 3:8-10 LITV
But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with the Lord ( ) is "as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." (Psa. 90:4) (9) The Lord of the promise is not slow, as some deem slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not having purposed any to perish, but all to come to repentance. (10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with rushing sound, and having burned the elements will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be burned up.

2 Peter 3:8-10 ESV
(8) But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord ( ) one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (Psa. 90:4) (9) The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. (10) But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
