2 Peter 3:9-15

9The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.

10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.

11Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness

12as you wait for the day of God and hasten its coming. Because of that day, the heavens will be dissolved with fire and the elements will melt with heat.

13But based on his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

14Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found without spot or blemish in his sight, at peace.

15Also, regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our dear brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.
