looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens, being set of fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements, burning with heat, shall melt?

The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it; I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.

Howl, you gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines; for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.

the earth shall be utterly confounded, and the earth shall be completely perplexed.

And all the powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll; and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig tree.

So the men marveled, saying, "What kind [of Man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, just as you know what kind [of men] we were among you for your sake.

for he observed himself and has gone away, and immediately forgot what sort of [man] he was.

Sinners have drawn their swords; they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay the upright in heart.

The sacrifice of praise will glorify Me; and that is the way in which I will show to him the salvation of God.

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that we have conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and especially toward you.

Only conduct yourselves worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,

For our citizenship exists in heaven, from which also we eagerly await for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but [rather] become a pattern for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Let [your] way of life [be] without loving money, being satisfied with what you have. For He Himself has said, "By no means shall I desert you, nor in any way shall I forsake you;"

Is there anyone wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct [that] his works [are] in meekness of wisdom.

but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all manner of life,

having your manner of life noble among the Gentiles, so that, whenever they speak against you as evildoers, when they observe the good works, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.

As His divine power has granted to us all things [pertaining] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

and with knowledge self-control, and with self-control perseverance, and with perseverance godliness,

And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among [the] Gentiles, believed on in the world, [and] was received up in glory.

If anyone teaches differently and does not consent to sound words, even those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness,

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

You however, O man of God, flee these things. But pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
