11Since allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 are to be destroyedG3089 in thisG3779 wayG3779, whatG4217 sortG4217 of people oughtG1163 you to be in holyG40 conductG391 and godlinessG2150, 121lookingG4328 for and hasteningG4692 the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, becauseG1223 of whichG3739 2the heavensG3772 will be destroyedG3089 by burningG4448, and the 3elementsG4747 will meltG5080 with intenseG2741 heatG2741! 13But accordingG2596 to His 4promiseG1862 we are lookingG4328 for 5newG2537 heavensG3772 and a newG2537 earthG1093, 6in whichG3739 righteousnessG1343 dwellsG2730.

147ThereforeG1352, 8belovedG27, since you lookG4328 for theseG3778 thingsG3778, be diligentG4704 to be 9foundG2147 by Him in peaceG1515, 10spotlessG784 and blamelessG298, 15and regardG2233 the 11patienceG3115 of our LordG2962 as salvationG4991; justG2531 as alsoG2532 12our belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972, 13accordingG2596 to the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 him, wroteG1125 to you, 16as alsoG2532 in allG3956 his lettersG1992, speakingG2980 in them of 14theseG3778 thingsG3778, 15in whichG3739 are someG5100 thingsG5100 hardG1425 to understandG1425, whichG3739 the untaughtG261 and 16unstableG793 distortG4761, as they do alsoG2532 17the restG3062 of the ScripturesG1124, to their ownG2398 destructionG684. 17You thereforeG3767, 18belovedG27, knowingG4267 this beforehandG4267, 19be on your guardG5442 soG2443G3361 that you are not carriedG4879 awayG4879 by 20the errorG4106 of 21unprincipledG113 menG113 and 22fallG1601 from your ownG2398 steadfastnessG4740, 18but growG837 in the graceG5485 and 23knowledgeG1108 of our 24LordG2962 and SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 25To Him be the gloryG1391, bothG2532 nowG3568 and to the dayG2250 of eternityG165.
