But ^(z)the day of the Lord ^(aa)will come like a thief, in which ^(ab)the heavens ^(ac)will pass away with a roar and the ^(ad)elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and ^(ae)the earth and ^[b]its works will be ^[c]burned up.

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

^(af)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which ^(ag)the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the ^(ah)elements will melt with intense heat!

But according to His ^(ai)promise we are looking for ^(aj)new heavens and a new earth, ^(ak)in which righteousness dwells.
