“And we wait for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness dwells;”— 2 Peter 3:13 (LSV)
10and it will come—the Day of the LORD—as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements will be dissolved with burning heat, and [the] earth and the works in it will not be found.
11All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons ought you to be in holy behaviors and pious acts,
12waiting for and hurrying the coming of the Day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with burning heat?
13And we wait for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness dwells;
14for this reason, beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, to be found by Him in peace,
15and count the long-suffering of our Lord [as] salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul—according to the wisdom given to him—wrote to you,
16as also in all the letters, speaking in them concerning these things, among which are some things [that are] hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable twist, as also the other Writings, to their own destruction.
