2 Peter 3:10-18

10But 1the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 2will comeG2240 likeG5613 a thiefG2812, in whichG3739 3the heavensG3772 4will passG3928 awayG3928 with a roarG4500 and the 5elementsG4747 will be destroyedG3089 withG2741 intenseG2741 heatG2741, and 6the earthG1093 and 7its worksG2041 will be 8discoveredG2147.

11Since allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 are to be destroyedG3089 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779, whatG4217 sortG4217 of people oughtG1163 you to be in holyG40 conductG391 and godlinessG2150, 129lookingG4328 forG4328 and hasteningG4692 the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, becauseG1223 of whichG3739 10the heavensG3772 will be destroyedG3089 by burningG4448, and the 11elementsG4747 will meltG5080 with intenseG2741 heatG2741! 13But accordingG2596 to His 12promiseG1862 we are lookingG4328 forG4328 13newG2537 heavensG3772 and a newG2537 earthG1093, 14in whichG3739 righteousnessG1343 dwellsG2730.

1415ThereforeG1352, 16belovedG27, since you lookG4328 forG4328 theseG3778 thingsG3778, be diligentG4704 to be 17foundG2147 18spotlessG784 and blamelessG298 by Him, at peaceG1515, 15and regardG2233 the 19patienceG3115 of our LordG2962 as salvationG4991; justG2531 asG2531 alsoG2532 20our belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972, 21accordingG2596 to the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 him, wroteG1125 to you, 16as alsoG2532 in allG3956 his lettersG1992, speakingG2980 in them of 22theseG3778 thingsG3778, 23in whichG3739 there are someG5100 thingsG5100 that are hardG1425 toG1425 understandG1425, whichG3739 the untaughtG261 and 24unstableG793 distortG4761, as they do alsoG2532 25the restG3062 of the ScripturesG1124, to their ownG2398 destructionG684. 17You thereforeG3767, 26belovedG27, knowingG4267 this beforehandG4267, 27be on your guardG5442 soG2443 thatG2443 you are not carriedG4879 awayG4879 by 28the errorG4106 of 2930unscrupulousG113 peopleG113 and 31loseG1601 your ownG2398 32firmG4740 commitmentG4740, 18but growG837 in the graceG5485 and 33knowledgeG1108 of our 34LordG2962 and SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 35To Him be the gloryG1391, bothG2532 nowG3568 and to the dayG2250 of eternityG165.
