because of your evil behavior.

But now He has reconciled you

by Christ’s physical body through

death to present you holy in His

sight, without blemish and free

from accusation- if you continue

in your faith, established and

firm, not moved from the hope

held out in the gospel (Best News

Ever). This is the gospel that you

heard and that has been proclaimed

to every creature under heaven, and

of which I, Paul have become a servant.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

Who forgives all your  iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from

destruction, Who crowns you

with loving-kindness and tender

mercies,

Who satisfies your mouth with

good things, so that your youth

is renewed like the eagle’s.

- rejected by men but chosen by God

and precious to Him- you also, like

living stones, are being built into a spiritual

house to be a holy priesthood, offering

spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God

through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion,

a chosen and precious cornerstone,

and the one who trusts in Him

will never be put to shame.”

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious.

But to those who do not believe,

“The stone the builders rejected has

become the capstone,”

“A stone that causes men to stumble

and a rock that makes them fall.”

They stumble because they disobey

the message- which is also what

they were destined for.

But you are a chosen people, a royal

priesthood, a holy nation, a people

belonging to God, that you may declare

the praises of Him Who called you

out of darkness into His wonderful light.

captivity and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous

for My holy name. They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed

toward Me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them  afraid.

When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the

countries of their enemies, I will show Myself holy through them in the sight of many

nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into

exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.

I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of

Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.

(Ezekiel 39.25-29).

The heavens will disappear with a roar;

the elements will be destroyed by fire, and

the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way,

what kind of people ought you to be? You ought

to live holy and godly lives as you look forward

to the day of God and speed its coming. That day

will bring about the destruction of the heavens by

fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in

keeping with His promise we are looking forward to

a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to

this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless

and at peace with Him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s

patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul

also wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him.

He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them

of these matters. His letters contain some things that are

hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people

distort, as they do to other Scriptures, to their own

destruction.

Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this,

be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by

the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.

But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen!

(II. Peter 3.11-18).
