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;

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;
