Notes

2 Peter 3:13

a new heaven and a new earth: See Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; Revelation 21.

2 Peter 3:1–13

Peter moves from condemning the false teachers to encouraging the believers. The false teachers doubted that Christ would return, so Peter needed to teach clearly about this truth. Christians must hold onto the message that the apostles taught about the day of judgment. They should live godly lives as they wait for that day.
