2 Peter 3:11-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness 12 as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming[a] of the day of God.(A) The heavens will be on fire and be dissolved because of it, and the elements will melt with the heat. 13 But based on His promise, we wait for the new heavens and a new earth,(B) where righteousness will dwell.(C)

Lexham English Bible
11 Because[a] all these things are being destroyed in this way, what sort of people must you be in holy behavior and godliness, 12 while[b] waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by[c] being burned up and the celestial bodies will melt as they[d] are consumed by heat! 13 But according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness resides.
