2 PETER 3:9-14

« 2 Peter 2 | 2 Peter 3 | 1 John 1 »

A New Heaven and Earth
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
