2 Peter 3:11–18

¹¹Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, ^dwhat manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy ^econversation and ^fgodliness, ^12glooking for and hasting unto ^hthe coming of ⁱthe day of God, wherein ^cthe heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and ^bthe elements ^cshall melt with fervent heat? ¹³Nevertheless we, according to his promise, ^glook for ^knew heavens and a new earth, ^lwherein dwelleth righteousness. ^14mWherefore, beloved, seeing that ye ^glook for such things, be diligent ⁿthat ye may be found of him in peace, ^owithout spot, and ^pblameless. ¹⁵And account that ^qthe longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; ¹⁶as also in all his epistles, ^rspeaking in them of these things; in which are some things ^shard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and ^tunstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. ¹⁷Ye therefore, beloved, ^useeing ye know these things before, ^vbeware lest ye also, being led away with the error of ^wthe wicked, ^xfall from your own stedfastness. ^18yBut grow in grace, and in the ^zknowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ^aTo him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
