e“For your sake fwe are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

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, ywhat sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 zwaiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and aathe heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13But according to his promise we are waiting for abnew heavens and a new earth acin which righteousness dwells.
