ગુજરાતીપિતરનો બીજો પત્ર ૩:૮
પણ પ્રિયો, આ એક વાત તમે ભૂલશો નહિ કે પ્રભુની દ્રષ્ટિએ એક દિવસ હજાર વર્ષોના જેવો અને હજાર વર્ષો એક દિવસના જેવા છે.
हिन्दी2 पतरस ३:८
हे प्रियों, यह एक बात तुम से छिपी न रहे, कि प्रभु के यहाँ एक दिन हजार वर्ष के बराबर है, और हजार वर्ष एक दिन के बराबर हैं। (भज. 90:4)

In context

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.

10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
