2PET 3:1
2 Peter 3:1
|
|
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto
you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: |
|
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:2
2 Peter 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: |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 3:3
2 Peter 3:3
|
|
Knowing this first, that there shall come in
the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 3:4
2 Peter 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. |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 3:5
2 Peter 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: |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 3:6
2 Peter 3:6
|
|
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed
with water, perished: |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 3:7
2 Peter 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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:8
2 Peter 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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:9
2 Peter 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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:10
2 Peter 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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:11
2 Peter 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, |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:12
2 Peter 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? |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:13
2 Peter 3:13
|
|
Nevertheless we, according to his promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:14
2 Peter 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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:15
2 Peter 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; |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:16
2 Peter 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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:17
2 Peter 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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 3:18
2 Peter 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. |
| |
