Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.
Hope is not mere sentiment; it works in us and draws us to renewal. Whoever waits for new heavens must begin his own transformation now, not cling to filth and this corrupt world. What matters is being approved by Christ's judgment, not the praise of men.
AI summary
Sin has corrupted all creation, and it cannot be freed without dissolution. If man's transgression has brought such ruin, how abominable sin is and how much we must hate it. You must labor to be eminent in holiness, not content with a lower measure, holy in God's house and your own, in worship and in all your dealings with men.

Commenting on 2 Peter 3:11-18
You must be found in Christ, clothed in His righteousness alone, not your own. Being thus dressed, you will not be ashamed before the Judge. Christ finds His own in redemption, in calling, and at last in gathering, and they will be presented complete and perfect, not one lacking.
