Read 2 Peter 3 at Bible Gateway.
The Chiastic Structure:
Since judgment is coming, don’t be like the scoffers who deny it will come. For every natural history museum in the world is crying out its testimony that millions of animals were buried in thick sediment laid down by water all over the earth, even to the tops of the mountains, and on every continent, even to the polar caps (Gen 6-9). Don’t be like the untaught and unstable who twist the Plain Meaning of the Text of Scripture to their own destruction. For since the judgment of fire is coming upon the earth, on a day and a hour of which you know not, therefore be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless, in holy conduct and godliness, being mindful of the words of the prophets and apostles (all the words of both Old and New Testaments), by which you may grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ♥
