Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

这一切既然都要如此销化，你们为人该当怎样圣洁，怎样敬虔，

既然这一切都要如此消失，你们处世为人必须圣洁敬虔，

既然这一切都要如此消失，你们处世为人必须圣洁敬虔，

一切都要这样被焚毁，你们在热切等候上帝来临的日子期间，该怎样过圣洁、敬虔的生活啊！因为到那日，天要被火焚毁，有形有质的都要被烈火熔化烧尽。

这一切既然都要这样融化，你们应当怎样为人，过着圣洁和敬虔的生活，

既然这一切都要如此被废除，那么，你们应该做什么样的人呢？应该行为圣洁、敬畏神，

這一切既然都要如此銷化，你們為人該當怎樣聖潔，怎樣敬虔，

既然這一切都要如此消失，你們處世為人必須聖潔敬虔，

既然這一切都要如此消失，你們處世為人必須聖潔敬虔，

一切都要這樣被焚毀，你們在熱切等候上帝來臨的日子期間，該怎樣過聖潔、敬虔的生活啊！因為到那日，天要被火焚毀，有形有質的都要被烈火熔化燒盡。

這一切既然都要這樣融化，你們應當怎樣為人，過著聖潔和敬虔的生活，

這一切既都要這樣消毁，你們就該做甚麼樣的人，該怎樣以聖別的品行和虔敬

既然這一切都要如此被廢除，那麼，你們應該做什麼樣的人呢？應該行為聖潔、敬畏神，

諸物既將如是消滅、則爾之為人、當如何清潔虔敬哉、

百物如將消滅、爾曹宜如何行善虔敬、

萬物既將消滅、則爾之舉動、當如何聖潔、當如何虔敬、

既知天地萬物終歸消滅、則爾等應如何孳孳為善、

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives

So everything will be destroyed in this way. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.

Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live,

Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness,

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness

[ Seeing] then[ that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner[ of persons] ought ye to be in[ all] holy conversation and godliness,

Since all these things are to melt away in this manner, what sort of people must we be, conducting our lives in holiness and godliness,

Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”

Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah

All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree.

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,

because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

The earth is utterly broken, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken.

And the men marveled, saying,“ What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”

But godliness with contentment is great gain,

and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said,“ I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright;

For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
