WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE?

 

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)
