2 Peter 3:10-18

[10] But  the day  of the Lord  will come  as  a thief  in  the which  the heavens  shall pass away  with a great noise,  and  the elements  shall melt  with fervent heat,  the earth  also  the works  that are therein  [11] that all  shall be dissolved,  what manner  of persons ought  to be  in  all holy  conversation  and  godliness,  [12] Looking for  and  hasting  unto the coming  of the day  of God,  wherein  the heavens  being on fire  shall be dissolved,  and  the elements  shall melt  with fervent heat?  [13] Nevertheless  according to  his  promise,  look for  new  heavens  and  a new  earth,  wherein  dwelleth  righteousness.  [14] Wherefore,  beloved,  seeing that ye look for  be diligent  that ye may be found  of him  in  peace,  without spot,  and  blameless.  [15] And  account  that the longsuffering  Lord  is salvation;  even as  beloved  brother  Paul  also  according to  the wisdom  given  unto him  hath written  [16] As  also  in  all  his epistles,  speaking  in  them  of  in  which  some things  hard to be understood,  which  they that are unlearned  and  unstable  wrest,  as  they do also  the other  scriptures,  unto  their  own  destruction.  [17] therefore,  beloved,  seeing ye know these things before,  beware  being led away  with the error  of the wicked,  fall from  your own  stedfastness.  [18] But  grow  in  grace,  and  in the knowledge  Lord  and  Saviour  Jesus  Christ.  To him  be glory  both  now  and  for  ever.  Amen.
