A READING FROM THE SECOND LETTER OF PETER
(FIRST READER ONLY)

DO NOT IGNORE THE FACT, MY FRIENDS,/

THAT WITH GOD, ONE DAY IS AS A THOUSAND YEARS/

AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY./

GOD IS PATIENT WITH YOU/

WISHING THAT ALL SHOULD BE TRANSFORMED./

SO WHAT SORT OF PERSON OUGHT YOU TO BE,/

LIVING LIVES OF HOLINESS AND GODLINESS/

WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE DAY OF GOD./

THEREFORE, DEAR FRIENDS, BE ZEALOUS TO BE FOUND IN GOD'S SIGHT/

WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH/

AND AT PEACE./
