And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;

For, if God spared not angels that sinned, but, hurling them down to Hell, delivered them up to pits of darkness, kept for judgment;

This, a second letter, beloved, I now write to you, in both which I stir up your sincere mind by way of remembrance;

but the present heavens and the earth, by the same word, have been stored up for fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, being intensely hot, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burned up.
