2 Peter 3:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Since all these things are thus ^[a]in the process of being dissolved, what kind of person ought [each of] you to be [in the meanwhile] in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities,

¹² While you wait and earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the day of God by reason of which the flaming heavens will be dissolved, and the [^[b]material] elements [of the universe] will flare and melt with fire?^(A)

¹³ But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness (uprightness, freedom from sin, and right standing with God) is to abide.^(B)
