11 When all these things will be solved in this way, what kind of people ought you to be?
With holy deeds and reverence 12 Look forward to the coming of the day of God and long for it.
In that day the heavens will be scorched with fire, and the elements will be melted with scorching fire, 13 but according to his promise we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which impartial dwells.
Make every effort to be found in the presence of the Lord in peace, without spot and without blemish.
In 1 John 2:15-17
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.
All are not of the Father, but of the world. 17 The world and its lusts have passed away, but those who do the will of God
it abides forever
