Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking
according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His
coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they
were from the beginning of creation."
For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens
were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by
which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.
But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same
word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of
ungodly men.
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day
is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is
not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is
longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that
all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:3-9 NKJV

Be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing

repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
2 Timothy 2:24-26 KJV
