2 Peter

2 Peter 3:13–15

¹³But in keeping with God’s promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

¹⁴Therefore, beloved, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace— spotless and blameless in His sight.^f

¹⁵Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him.
