彼得後書3:10-12

3:10 但主的日子要像賊來到一樣。那日，天必大有響聲廢去，有形質的都要被烈火銷化，地和其上的物都要燒盡了。

3:11 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，

3:12 切切仰望上帝的日子來到。在那日，天被火燒就銷化了，有形質的都要被烈火鎔化。

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed. Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire?

Chhai ke-ngit, chû-thiên voi chhai thai-sâng chûng sêu-sṳt, sên-sṳ̀n voi chhai lie̍t-fó chûng sêu-thet, thai-thi lâu van-vu̍t lûng-chúng voi sêu-me̍t thet-hi.

    使徒告訴讀者，主耶穌再來的日子像賊來到一樣，要以聖潔和敬虔來切望那日子。也就是說，要隨時準備好自己，好來面對主耶穌再來。因為主耶穌再來是必然性的，只是早晚的問題。

    也因為這樣，我們必須活出對主耶穌再來的肯定性，大大小小的事都要考慮到主耶穌再來時，我們必被祂帶到榮耀之處，進入祂的國。更要肯定的是，現在的一切，都要因為祂的再來而改變，一切都要更新與改換，如同被火所銷化，就是燒毀的意思。

    讓我們天天預備好自己，因為在我們想不到的時候，主耶穌救再來了，我們就與眾聖徒同入榮耀中，這就是被提的意義，相信你也必肯定自己是真正被提的，因為你是透過信靠耶穌基督，成為上帝的兒女！
