“Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye look for these things, etc.] For the burning of the heavens and the earth, for the coming of Christ, and for the new heavens and new earth, be diligent that ye may be found of him; Christ, or autw, “in him”, as in (<500309>Philippians 3:9); for such as are in Christ will have an undoubted right to the new heavens and the new earth, and will certainly dwell in them, because they will be found not in their own righteousness, but in the righteousness of Christ: or “before him”, as the Arabic version renders it; before him the Judge of all, at whose tribunal they must stand; but being clothed with his righteousness, and so without spot and blemish, they will not be…”

“that ye . . . be found of him--"in His sight" [ALFORD], at His coming; plainly implying a personal coming. without spot--at the coming marriage feast of the Lamb, in contrast to Pe2 2:13, "Spots they are and blemishes while they feast," not having on the King's pure wedding garment. blameless-- (Co1 1:8; Phi 1:10; Th1 3:13; Th1 5:23). in peace--in all its aspects, towards God, your own consciences, and your fellow men, and as its consequence eternal blessedness: "the God of peace" will effect this for you.”

He who has such hopes set before him, should seek earnestly that he may be enabled truly to avail himself of them, and should make their attainment the great object of his life.

“Labour that whenever he cometh ye may be found in peace - May meet him without terror, being sprinkled with his blood, and sanctified by his Spirit, so as to be without spot and blameless. Isa 65:17; Isa 66:22. 2 Peter 3:15”

“seeing: Phi 3:20; Heb 9:28 be diligent: Pe2 1:5-10; Jo1 3:3 in peace: Mat 24:26; Luk 2:29, Luk 12:43; Co1 1:8, Co1 15:58; Phi 1:10; Th1 3:13, Th1 5:23 2 Peter 3:15”
