2 Peter 3:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
Live a Holy Life
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.[a] On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, the elements will be dissolved as they burn with great heat, and the earth and what was done on it will be burned up.[b] 11 Therefore,[c] since all these things will be destroyed, what kind of people ought you to be, living in holiness and godliness, 12 as you look forward to and hasten the coming of the day of God? That day will cause the heavens to be set on fire and destroyed, and the elements to melt as they burn with great heat.
