13 But God has promised to make a new sky and a new earth. That is what we are waiting for. That will be a home for everything that is good and right.[a]

Peter finishes his letter

14 So, my friends, live in a good way, because you are waiting for these things to happen. Try very much to do what makes God happy. Then, when you meet God, he will see that you are clean.

God helped him to understand these things.
