Dean & Diane Fry, Jan. 2015
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night………
both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved,
what manner of person ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
Looking for and hastening the coming of day of God,
because of which the heavens will be dissolved,
being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things,
be diligent to be found by Him in peace,
Without spot and blameless;
and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation------
As also our beloved brother Paul,
according to the wisdom given to him,
has written to you, as also in all his epistles,
speaking in them of these things,
in which are some things hard to understand.
which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction,
as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand,
beware lest you also fall from you own steadfastness,
Being led away with the error of the wicked;
but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
(2 Peter 3:10-18)
