This second
epistle
, beloved, I now
write
unto
you; in both which
I stir up your pure
minds
by way
of
remembrance:
This is
now
, beloved, the
second
letter
that
I have
written
to
you; and
in both of
them
I stir up your sincere
mind
by reminding
you;
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
:
that you
should
remember
the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments
of us ,
the apostles of the Lord and Savior
:
Knowing this first, that there
shall
come
in the last days scoffers
, walking after their own lusts,
knowing this first, that in the last days mockers
will
come
, walking after their own lusts,
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.
and saying, "
Where is the promise of his coming? For ,
from
the day
that
the
fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. "
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 :
For this they willfully
forget
, that there
were heavens
from
of old, and an
earth formed
out of water and amid
water ,
by
the
word
of
God;
Whereby
the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished :

which
means
the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished .
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.
But the heavens that
now
are,
and the earth, by the same word have
been
stored
up
for
fire
, being
reserved against the day of judgment and destruction
of ungodly men.
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.
But don't
forget
this one thing, beloved,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
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.
The Lord is not slow
concerning his promise, as some count slowness
; but is patient
with
us, not wishing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
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.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will
pass away with a great noise, and the elements will
be
dissolved
with fervent heat, and
the earth and the works that are in
it
will
be burned up.
Seeing
then
that
all these things shall
be dissolved
, what manner of persons ought ye
to be in all
holy conversation
and godliness,
Therefore
since
all these things are
thus
to
be destroyed
, what manner of persons ought you
to be in holy living
and godliness,
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?
looking for and earnestly
desiring
the coming of the day of God, by
reason
of
which
the heavens being on fire will
be dissolved, and the elements will
melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless
we
, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth
righteousness.
But
, according to his promise, we
look for new heavens and a new earth, in
which
dwells
righteousness.
Wherefore
, beloved, seeing that ye
look for such
things, be diligent that
ye
may
be found of
him
in peace, without spot,
and blameless.
Therefore
, beloved, seeing that you
look for these
things, be diligent to
be found in peace, without blemish
and blameless in
his
sight
.
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;
Regard
the patience
of our Lord as
salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also ,
according to the wisdom given to
him ,
wrote
to
you;
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.
as also in all of
his letters
, speaking in them of these things .
In those
are some things hard to be understood, which the
ignorant
and unsettled
twist
, as they also do
to
the other Scriptures, to
their own destruction.
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
.
You
therefore, beloved, knowing
these things beforehand
, beware lest, being carried
away with the error of the wicked, you
fall from your own steadfastness
.
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.
But grow in the
grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. To him be the
glory both now and forever
. Amen.
