^12 (A)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will ^(B)be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will ^(C)melt with fervent heat?

¹³ Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for ^(A)new heavens and a ^(B)new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Be Steadfast

¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent ^(C)to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

All Things Made New

21 Now ^(A)I saw a new heaven and a new earth, ^(B)for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

⁵ Then ^(A)He who sat on the throne said, ^(B)“Behold, I make all things new.” And He said ^[a]to me, “Write, for ^(C)these words are true and faithful.”

The Glorious New Creation

¹⁷ And ^(A)the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

^20 (A)teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am ^(B)with you always, even to the end of the age.” ^[a]Amen.

¹¹ Now ^[a]all these things happened to them as examples, and ^(A)they were written for our ^[b]admonition, ^(B)upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone ^(A)is in Christ, he is ^(B)a new creation; ^(C)old things have passed away; behold, all things have become ^(D)new.
