<t /><p class="bodytext">Therefore, dear friends, since you are waiting for<n id="1" /> these things, strive to be found<n id="2" /> at peace, without spot or blemish, when you come into his presence.<n id="3" />

When this voice was conveyed from heaven, we ourselves<n id="1" /> heard it, for we were with him on the holy mountain.<n id="2" />

But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, by being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.<n id="1" />p>

And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation,<n id="1" /> just as also our dear brother Paul<n id="2" /> wrote to you,<n id="3" /> according to the wisdom given to him,

But grow in the grace and knowledge<n id="1" /> of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the honor both now and on<n id="2" /> that eternal day.<n id="3" />p>

For he received honor and glory from God the Father, when that<n id="1" /> voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory: &#8220;This is my dear Son, in whom I am delighted.&#8221;<n id="2" />
