2 Peter 3:11-18 (Revised Standard Version)
11
Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,
12
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!
13
But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
14
Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.
15
And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
16
speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.
17
You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.
18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
