    9The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wanting any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

    10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

    11Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

    12Looking forward to and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens, being set on fire, will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with intense heat.

    13But according to His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

    14Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these things, make every effort to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless.

    15And consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him.

    3First of all, you should understand that in the last days, mockers will come, following their own evil desires,

    4and they will say, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, everything continues just as it has from the beginning of creation.'

    5For they deliberately ignore this fact: that the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God.

    6Through these, the world of that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

    7But by the same word, the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and the destruction of ungodly people.
