Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Heaven and earth, he says, shall pass away for our sakes; is it meet, then, for us to be engrossed with the things of earth, and not, on the contrary, to attend to a holy and godly life? The corruptions of heaven and earth will be purged by fire, while yet as the creatures of God they are pure; what then ought to be done...
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
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,.... By fire; the heaven with all its host, sun, moon, and stars, clouds, meteors, and fowls of the air; the earth, and all that is upon it, whether of nature, or art; and, since nothing is more certain than such a dissolution of all things, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?
