8 Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance!
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.
21 He will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today—and forever!
31 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear."
2 Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when Christ is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
3 First of all you must understand this: In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us
4 by saying, "What happened to his promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of creation."
5 But they deliberately ignore the fact that long ago the heavens existed and the earth was formed by God's word out of water and with water,

7 Now by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire and are being kept for the day when ungodly people will be judged and destroyed.

51 Let me tell you a secret. Not all of us will die, but all of us will be changed—
52 in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will be raised never to decay, and we will be changed.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and—look!—all things have become new!
18 As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are being transformed into the same image with ever-increasing glory by the Lord's Spirit.
17 Every generous act of giving and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father who made the heavenly lights, in whom there is no inconsistency or shifting shadow.
19 Therefore, repent and turn to him to have your sins blotted out,
