10 The Day of the Lord will come like a Thief.
THE HEAVENS WILL DISAPPEAR WITH A ROAR;
THE ELEMENTS WILL BE DESTROYED BY FIRE,
AND THE EARTH
AND EVERYTHING DONE IN IT LAID BARE.
11 SINCE EVERYTHING WILL BE DESTROYED
In this Way,
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE?
You Ought to Live Holy and Godly Lives,
12 AS YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY OF GOD
AND SPEED ITS COMING.
That Day will Bring About the Destruction
Of the Heavens by Fire,
And the Elements will Melt in the Heat.
13 But in Keeping with His Promise
We are Looking Forward
TO A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH,
Where Righteousness Dwells.
14 So then, dear Friends,
Since you are Looking Forward to This,
Make Every Effort
TO BE FOUND SPOTLESS, BLAMELESS
And at Peace with Him.
(2 Peter 3:10-14, NIV)
