2 Peter 3:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Looking for, and [a]hasting unto the coming of that day of God, by the which the heavens being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with heat?
13 But we look for (A)new heavens, and a new earth, according to his promise, [b]wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in [c]peace, without spot and blameless.
