2 Peter 3:11
Compare all
9 aThe Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but bis longsuffering toward us, cnot willing that any should perish but dthat all should come to repentance.  

The Day of the Lord

10 But athe day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which bthe heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be1 burned up.  
11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be ain holy conduct and godliness,  
12 alooking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will bbe dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will cmelt with fervent heat?  
13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for anew heavens and a bnew earth in which righteousness dwells.  

Be Steadfast

14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent ato be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;  
15 and consider that athe longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,  
16 as also in all his aepistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the brest of the Scriptures.  
17 You therefore, beloved, asince you know this beforehand, bbeware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;  
18 abut grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. bTo Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
