And Jesus went forth and saw much people: and his heart did melt upon them, and he healed of them those that were sick.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that Day the heavens will vanish with a crash, the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be burned up.

Since all these things are to melt away in this manner, what sort of people must we be, conducting our lives in holiness and godliness,

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
