ગુજરાતીપિતરનો બીજો પત્ર ૩:૭
પણ હમણાંનાં આકાશ તથા પૃથ્વી તે જ શબ્દથી ન્યાયકાળ તથા અધર્મી માણસોના નાશના દિવસ સુધી રાખી મૂકેલાં છતાં બાળવાને માટે તૈયાર રાખેલાં છે.
हिन्दी2 पतरस ३:७
पर वर्तमानकाल के आकाश और पृथ्वी उसी वचन के द्वारा इसलिए रखे हैं, कि जलाए जाएँ; और वह भक्तिहीन मनुष्यों के न्याय और नाश होने के दिन तक ऐसे ही रखे रहेंगे।

In context

5For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,

6by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.

7But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

8But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
