This is now the second letter that I have written to you, beloved, and in both of them I have aroused your sincere mind by way of reminder; | The Promise of the Lord's Coming 2Pe.3.1-18 | Ταύτην ἠδη, ἀγαπητοί, δευτέραν ὑμῖν γράφω ἐπιστολήν, ἐν αἷς διεγείρω ὑμῶν ἐν ὑπομνήσει τὴν εἰλικρινῆ διάνοιαν, |
| 2 |
that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles. | | μνησθῆναι τῶν προειρημένων ῥημάτων ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγίων προφητῶν καὶ τῆς τῶν ἀποστόλων ὑμῶν ἐντολῆς τοῦ κυρίου καὶ σωτῆρος· |
| 3 |
First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions | | τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες, ὅτι ἐλεύσονται ἐπ' ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐμπαιγμονῇ ἐμπαῖκται κατὰ τὰς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν πορευόμενοι |
| 4 |
and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation." | | καὶ λέγοντες, Ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ; ἀφ' ἧς γὰρ οἱ πατέρες ἐκοιμήθησαν, πάντα οὑτως διαμένει ἀπ' ἀρχῆς κτίσεως. |
| 5 |
They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water, | | λανθάνει γὰρ αὐτοὺς τοῦτο θέλοντας, ὅτι οὐρανοὶ ἦσαν ἐκπαλαι καὶ γῆ ἐξ ὑδατος καὶ δῖ ὑδατος συνεστῶσα τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ λόγῳ, |
| 6 |
through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. | | δῖ ὧν ὁ τότε κόσμος ὑδατι κατακλυσθεὶς ἀπώλετο· |
| 7 |
But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. | | οἱ δὲ νῦν οὐρανοὶ καὶ ἡ γῆ τῷ αὐτῷ λόγῳ τεθησαυρισμένοι εἰσὶν πυρί, τηρούμενοι εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως καὶ ἀπωλείας τῶν ἀσεβῶν ἀνθρώπων. |
| 8 |
But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. | | Ἓν δὲ τοῦτο μὴ λανθανέτω ὑμᾶς, ἀγαπητοί, ὅτι μία ἡμέρα παρὰ κυρίῳ ὡς χίλια ἐτη καὶ χίλια ἐτη ὡς ἡμέρα μία. |
| 9 |
The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. | | οὐ βραδύνει κύριος τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, ὡς τινες βραδύτητα ἡγοῦνται, ἀλλὰ μακροθυμεῖ εἰς ὑμᾶς, μὴ βουλόμενός τινας ἀπολέσθαι ἀλλὰ πάντας εἰς μετάνοιαν χωρῆσαι. |
| 10 |
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up. | | Ἥξει δὲ ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης, ἐν ᾗ οἱ οὐρανοὶ ῥοιζηδὸν παρελεύσονται, στοιχεῖα δὲ καυσούμενα λυθήσεται, καὶ γῆ καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ ἐργα εὑρεθήσεται. |
| 11 |
Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, | | τούτων οὑτως πάντων λυομένων ποταποὺς δεῖ ὑπάρχειν ἐν ἀγίαις ἀναστροφαῖς καὶ εὐσεβείαις, |
| 12 |
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire! | | προσδοκῶντας καὶ σπεύδοντας τὴν παρουσίαν τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμέρας, δῖ ἣν οὐρανοὶ πυρούμενοι λυθήσονται καὶ στοιχεῖα καυσούμενα τήκεται. |
| 13 |
But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. | - we wait for new heavens and a new earth 2Pe.3.13 | Is.65.17 | Is.66.22 | καινοὺς δὲ οὐρανοὺς καὶ γῆν καινὴν κατὰ τὸ ἐπάγγελμα αὐτοῦ προσδοκῶμεν, ἐν οἷς δικαιοσύνη κατοικεῖ. |
| 14 |
Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. | | Διό, ἀγαπητοί, ταῦτα προσδοκῶντες σπουδάσατε ἀσπιλοι καὶ ἀμώμητοι αὐτῷ εὑρεθῆναι ἐν εἰρήνῃ, |
| 15 |
And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, | | καὶ τὴν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν μακροθυμίαν σωτηρίαν ἡγεῖσθε, καθὼς καὶ ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἡμῶν ἀδελφὸς Παῦλος κατὰ τὴν δοθεῖσαν αὐτῷ σοφίαν ἐγραψεν ὑμῖν, |
| 16 |
speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. | | ὡς καὶ ἐν πάσαις ἐπιστολαῖς λαλῶν ἐν αὐταῖς περὶ τούτων, ἐν αἷς ἐστιν δυσνόητά τινα, ἂ οἱ ἀμαθεῖς καὶ ἀστήρικτοι στρεβλοῦσιν ὡς καὶ τὰς λοιπὰς γραφὰς πρὸς τὴν ἰδίαν αὐτῶν ἀπώλειαν. |
| 17 |
You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability. | | Ὑμεῖς οὖν, ἀγαπητοί, προγινώσκοντες φυλάσσεσθε ἵνα μὴ τῇ τῶν ἀθέσμων πλάνῃ συναπαχθέντες ἐκπέσητε τοῦ ἰδίου στηριγμοῦ, |
| 18 |
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. | | αὐξάνετε δὲ ἐν χάριτι καὶ γνώσει τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ νῦν καὶ εἰς ἡμέραν αἰῶνος. |
