2 Peter 3:12

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

Yahweh says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.

The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.

I and the Father are one.”

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.

For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.

Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going out, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.

All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

“Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh’s hand double for all her sins.”

“Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom,

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

A fiery stream issued and came out from before him. Thousands of thousands ministered to him. Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set. The books were opened.

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love, and into the perseverance of Christ.
