This
is now,
beloved,
the second
letter
I am writing
to you in which
I am stirring
up your sincere
mind
by way
of re
mind
er,
2
that you should remember
the words
spoken beforehand
by the holy
prophets
and the commandment
of the Lord
and Savior
spoken by your apostles.
3
Know
this
first
of all, that in the last
days
mockers
will come
with their mocking,
following
after
their own
lusts,
4
and saying,
"Where
is the promise
of His coming?
For ever since
the fathers
fell asleep,
all
continues
just
as it was from the beginning
of creation."
5
For when they maintain
this,
it escapes their notice
that by the word
of God
the heavens
existed
long ago
and the earth
was formed
out of water
and by water,
6
through
which
the world
at that time
was destroyed,
being flooded
with water.
7
But by His word
the present
heavens
and earth
are being reserved
for fire,
kept
for the day
of judgment
and destruction
of ungodly
men.
8
But do not let this
one
fact escape your notice,
beloved,
that with the Lord
one
day
is
like
a thousand
years
,
and
a thousand
years
like
one
day
.
9
The Lord
is not slow
about His promise,
as some
count
slowness,
but is patient
toward
you, not wishing
for any
to perish
but for all
to come
to repentance.
10
But the day
of the Lord
will come
like
a thief,
in which
the heavens
will pass away
with a roar
and the elements
will be destroyed
with intense heat,
and the earth
and its works
will be burned
up.
11
Since all
these things
are to be destroyed
in this way,
what sort
of people ought
you to be in holy
conduct
and godliness,
12
looking
for and hastening
the coming
of the day
of God,
because
of which
the heavens
will be destroyed
by burning,
and the elements
will melt
with intense heat!
13
But according
to His promise
we are looking
for new
heavens
and a new
earth,
in which
righteousness
dwells.
14
Therefore,
beloved,
since you look
for these things,
be diligent
to be found
by Him in peace,
spotless
and blameless,
15
and regard
the patience
of our Lord
as salvation;
just
as also
our beloved
brother
Paul,
according
to the wisdom
given
him, wrote
to you,
16
as also
in all
his letters,
speaking
in them of these things,
in
which
are some things
hard to understand,
which
the untaught
and unstable
distort,
as they do also
the rest
of the Scriptures,
to their own
destruction.
17
You therefore,
beloved,
knowing this beforehand,
be on your guard
so
that you are not carried away
by the error
of unprincipled men
and fall
from your own
steadfastness,
18
but grow
in the grace
and knowledge
of our Lord
and Savior
Jesus
Christ.
To Him be the glory,
both
now
and to the day
of eternity.
Amen.
