Some manuscripts on your account
fnot wishing that any should perish, but gthat all should reach repentance.
10But hthe day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then ithe heavens will pass away with a roar, and jthe heavenly bodies
Or elements; also verse 12
will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
Greek found; some manuscripts  will be burned up


11Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, mwhat sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 nwaiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and othe heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13But according to his promise we are waiting for pnew heavens and a new earth qin which righteousness dwells.
