Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

3:8 Peter alludes to Ps 90:4. God operates according to his time scale. He will send his Son in his own good time.
ἓν & τοῦτο μὴ λανθανέτω ὑμᾶς
one & this not /let_be/_escaping_notice you_all
Alternate translation: [do not fail to understand this one fact] or [do not ignore this one thing]
ὅτι μία ἡμέρα παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὡς χίλια ἔτη
that one day with /the/_Lord_‹is› like /a/_thousand years
Here, with the Lord means “in the judgment of the Lord.” Alternate translation: [that from the Lord’s point of view, one day is like a thousand years]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
μία ἡμέρα παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὡς χίλια ἔτη, καὶ χίλια ἔτη ὡς ἡμέρα μία
one day with /the/_Lord_‹is› like /a/_thousand years and /a/_thousand years_‹are› like day one
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that God does not perceive of time the same way that humans do. What might seem to be a short or long time for people would not seem so for God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [one day and 1,000 years are alike for the Lord]
