11. Everything will be destroyed. So you should serve and honour God by the way you live.
12. You should look forward to the day when God judges everyone, and you should try to make it come soon. On that day the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and everything else will melt in the heat.
13. But God has promised us a new heaven and a new earth, where justice will rule. We are really looking forward to that!
14. My friends, while you are waiting, you should make certain that the Lord finds you pure, spotless, and living at peace.
15. Don't forget that the Lord is patient because he wants people to be saved. This is also what our dear friend Paul said when he wrote to you with the wisdom that God had given him.
