2PE-3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in
[both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2PE-3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken
before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the
apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2PE-3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last
days
scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2PE-3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for
since
the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from
the
beginning of the creation.
2PE-3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the
word
of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the
water and in the water:
2PE-3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished:
2PE-3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the
same
word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2PE-3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that
one
day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years
as
one day.
2PE-3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some
men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2PE-3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the
works
that are therein shall be burned up.
2PE-3:11 [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be
dissolved,
what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy
conversation
and godliness,
2PE-3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of
God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2PE-3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new
heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2PE-3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things,
be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
and
blameless.
2PE-3:15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is]
salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the
wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2PE-3:16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of
these
things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which
they
that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the
other
scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2PE-3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things]
before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the
wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2PE-3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord
and
Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever.
Amen.
