⁷ But by the same word ^(A)the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and ^(B)destruction of the ungodly.

¹¹ Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, ^(A)what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, ^12 (B)waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and ^(C)the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!
