2 Peter 3:3 (KJV) King James Version

1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
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 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
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.
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:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
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.
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.
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.
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.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
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?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
1 This G5026 second G1208 A-ASF epistle G1992 N-ASF , beloved G27 A-VPM , I now G2235 ADV write G1125 V-PAI-1S unto you G5213 P-2DP ; in G1722 PREP both which G3739 R-DPF I stir up G1326 V-PAI-1S your G3588 T-ASF pure G1506 A-ASF minds G1271 N-ASF by way of G1722 PREP remembrance G5280 N-DSF :
2 That ye may be mindful G3415 V-APN of the G3588 T-GPM words G3588 T-GPM which were spoken before G4280 V-RPP-GPM by G5259 PREP the G3588 T-GPM holy G40 A-GPM prophets G4396 N-GPM , and G2532 CONJ of the G3588 T-GSF commandment G1785 N-GSF of G3588 T-GSF us G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GPM apostles G652 N-GPM of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM and G2532 CONJ Savior G4990 N-GSM :
3 Knowing G1097 V-PAP-NPM this G5124 D-ASN first G4412 ADV , that G3754 CONJ there shall come G2064 V-FDI-3P in G1909 PREP the G3588 T-GPF last G2078 A-GSN days G2250 N-GPF scoffers G1703 N-NPM , walking G4198 V-PNP-NPM after G2596 PREP their G3588 T-APF own G2398 A-APF lusts G1939 N-APF ,
4 And G2532 CONJ saying G3004 V-PAP-NPM , Where G4226 PRT-I is G2076 V-PXI-3S the G3588 T-NSF promise G1860 N-NSF of G3588 T-GSF his G3588 T-GSF coming G3952 N-GSF ? for G1063 CONJ since G575 PREP the G3588 T-NPM fathers G3962 N-NPM fell asleep G2837 V-API-3P , all things G3956 A-NPN continue G1265 V-PAI-3S as G3779 ADV they were from G575 PREP the beginning G746 N-GSF of the creation G2937 N-GSF .
5 For G1063 CONJ this G5124 D-NSN they G846 P-APM willingly G2309 V-PAP-APM are ignorant of G2990 V-PAI-3S , that G3754 CONJ by the G3588 T-DSM word G3056 N-DSM of God G2316 N-GSM the heavens G3772 N-NPM were G2258 V-IXI-3P of old G1597 ADV , and G2532 CONJ the earth G1093 N-NSF standing G4921 V-RAP-NSF out of G1537 PREP the water G5204 N-GSN and G2532 CONJ in G1223 PREP the water G5204 N-GSN :
6 Whereby G1223 PREP the G3588 T-NSM world G2889 N-NSM that then G5119 ADV was , being overflowed G2626 V-APP-NSM with water G5204 N-DSN , perished G622 V-2AMI-3S .
7 But G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NPM heavens G3772 N-NPM and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF earth G1093 N-NSF , which are now G3568 ADV , by the G3588 T-DSM same G846 P-GSM word G3056 N-DSM are G1526 V-PXI-3P kept in store G2343 V-RPP-NPM , reserved G5083 V-PPP-NPM unto fire G4442 N-DSN against G1519 PREP the day G2250 N-ASF of judgment G2920 N-GSF and G2532 CONJ perdition G684 N-GSF of ungodly G765 A-GPM men G444 N-GPM .
8 But G1161 CONJ , beloved G27 A-VPM , be not ignorant G2990 V-PAM-3S of this G5124 D-NSN one thing G1520 A-NSN , that G3754 CONJ one G3391 day G2250 N-NSF is with G3844 PREP the Lord G2962 N-DSM as G5613 ADV a thousand G5507 A-NPN years G2094 N-NPN , and G2532 CONJ a thousand G5507 A-NPN years G2094 N-NPN as G5613 ADV one G3391 day G2250 N-NSF .
9 The G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM is not slack G1019 V-PAI-3S concerning his promise G1860 N-GSF , as G5613 ADV some men G5100 X-NPM count G2233 V-PNI-3P slackness G1022 N-ASF ; but G235 CONJ is longsuffering G3114 V-PAI-3S to G1519 PREP us G2248 P-1AP - ward , not G3361 PRT-N willing G1014 V-PNP-NSM that any G5100 X-APM should perish G622 V-2AMN , but G235 CONJ that all G3956 A-APM should come G5562 V-AAN to G1519 PREP repentance G3341 N-ASF .
10 But G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF day G2250 N-NSF of the Lord G2962 N-GSM will come G2240 V-FAI-3S as G5613 ADV a thief G2812 N-NSM in G1722 PREP the night G3571 N-DSF ; in G1722 PREP the which G3739 R-DSF the G3588 T-NPM heavens G3772 N-NPM shall pass away G3928 V-FDI-3P with a great noise G4500 ADV , and G1161 CONJ the elements G4747 N-NPN shall melt G3089 V-FPI-3P with fervent heat G2741 V-PPP-NPN , the earth G1093 N-NSF also G2532 CONJ and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NPN works G2041 N-NPN that are therein G1722 PREP shall be burned up G2618 V-2FPI-3S .
11 Seeing then G3767 CONJ that all G3956 A-GPN these things G5130 D-GPN shall be dissolved G3089 V-PPP-GPN , what manner G4217 A-APM of persons ought G1163 V-PQI-3S ye G5209 P-2AP to be G5225 V-PAN in G1722 PREP all holy G40 A-DPF conversation G391 N-DPF and G2532 CONJ godliness G2150 N-DPF ,
12 Looking for G4328 V-PAP-APM and G2532 CONJ hasting G4692 V-PAP-APM unto the G3588 T-ASF coming G3952 N-ASF of the G3588 T-GSF day G2250 N-GSF of God G2316 N-GSM , wherein G1223 PREP the heavens G3772 N-NPM being on fire G4448 V-PPP-NPM shall be dissolved G3089 V-FPI-3P , and G2532 CONJ the elements G4747 N-NPN shall melt G5080 V-PPI-3S with fervent heat G2741 V-PPP-NPN ?
13 Nevertheless G1161 CONJ we , according G2596 PREP to his G3588 T-ASN promise G1862 N-ASN , look for G4328 V-PAI-1P new G2537 A-APM heavens G3772 N-APM and G2532 CONJ a new G2537 A-ASF earth G1093 N-ASF , wherein G1722 PREP dwelleth G2730 V-PAI-3S righteousness G1343 N-NSF .
14 Wherefore G1352 CONJ , beloved G27 A-VPM , seeing that ye look for G4328 V-PAP-NPM such things G5023 D-APN , be diligent G4704 V-AAM-2P that ye may be found G2147 V-APN of him G846 P-DSM in G1722 PREP peace G1515 N-DSF , without spot G784 A-NPM , and G2532 CONJ blameless G298 A-NPM .
