2 Peter 3
|
- 3:1
This
second
epistle,
beloved,
I
now
write unto
you;
in both
which I stir
up
your
pure
minds by
way of
remembrance:
|
- 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:
|
- 3:3
Knowing
this
first,
that there shall
come
in the
last
days
scoffers,
walking
after
their
own
lusts,
|
- 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.
|
- 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:
|
- 3:6
Whereby
the
world that then
was, being
overflowed with
water,
perished:
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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,
|
- 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 ?
|
- 3:13
Nevertheless
we, according
to
his
promise, look
for
new
heavens
and a
new
earth,
wherein
*
dwelleth
righteousness.
|
- 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.
|
- 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;
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
