2 Peter 3:13

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.

“For just as the new heavens and the new earth
Which I make will endure before Me,” declares the Lord,
“So your offspring and your name will endure.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.

A prudent man sees evil and hides himself,
The naive proceed and pay the penalty.

You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”

For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.
