There is one thing, my friends, that you must never forget: that with the Lord, a day can mean a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord is not being slow to carry out his promises, as anybody else might be called slow; Anh em thn mn, mt iu duy nht, xin anh em ng qun: i vi Cha, mt ngy v th ngn nm, ngn nm cng ta mt ngy. Cha khng chm tr thc hin li ha, nh c k cho l Ngi chm tr. 33. but he is being patient with you all, wanting nobody to be lost and everybody to be brought to change his ways. The Day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then with a roar the sky will vanish, K thc Ngi kin nhn i vi anh em, v Ngi khng mun cho ai phi dit vong, nhng mun cho mi ngi i ti ch n nn hi ci.

Since everything is coming to an end like this, you should be living holy and saintly lives while you wait and long for the Day of God to come, ng hnh bc chy tiu tan, mt t v cc cng trnh trn s b tiu hu.
