Purpose of This Letter

(Gen 6:5—8:22 )
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:1 -

Beloved G27, this G3778 is now G2235 the second G1208 letter G1992 I am writing G1125 to you in which G3739 I am stirring G1326 up G1326 your sincere G1506 mind G1271 by way G1722 of a reminder G5280,

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:2 - to remember G3403 the words G4487 spoken G4280 beforehand G4280 by the holy G40 prophets G4396 and the commandment G1785 of the Lord G2962 and Savior G4990 spoken by your apostles G652.

The Coming Day of the Lord

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:3 - Know G1097 this G3778 first G4413 of all, that in the last G2078 days G2250 mockers G1703 will come G2064 with their mocking G6032, following G4198 after G2596 their own G2398 lusts G1939,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:4 - and saying G3004, “Where G4226 is the promise G1860 of His coming G3952? For ever since G575 G3739 the fathers G3962 [fn]fell G2837 asleep G2837, all G3956 things G3956 continue G1265 just G3779 as they were from the beginning G746 of creation G2937.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:5 - For [fn]when they maintain G2309 this G3778, it escapes G2990 their notice G2990 that by the word G3056 of God G2316 the heavens G3772 existed G1510 long G1597 ago G1597 and the earth G1093 was formed G4921 out of water G5204 and by water G5204,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:6 - through G1223 which G3739 the world G2889 at that time G5119 was destroyed G622 by being flooded G2626 with water G5204.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:7 - But by His word G3056 the present G3568 heavens G3772 and earth G1093 are being reserved G2343 for fire G4442, kept G5083 for the day G2250 of judgment G2920 and destruction G684 of ungodly G765 people G444.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:8 -

But do not let this G3778 one G1520 fact escape G2990 your notice G2990, beloved G27, that with the Lord G2962 one G1520 day G2250 is like G5613 a thousand G5507 years G2094, and a thousand G5507 years G2094 like G5613 one G1520 day G2250.

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:9 - The Lord G2962 is not slow G1019 about His promise G1860, as some G5100 count G2233 slowness G1022, but is G3114 patient G3114 toward G1519 you, not willing G1014 for any G5100 to perish G622, but for all G3956 to come G5562 to repentance G3341.

A New Heaven and Earth

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:10 - But the day G2250 of the Lord G2962 will come G2240 like G5613 a thief G2812, in which G3739 the heavens G3772 will pass G3928 away G3928 with a roar G4500 and the elements G4747 will be destroyed G3089 with G2741 intense G2741 heat G2741, and the earth G1093 and [fn]its works G2041 will be [fn]discovered G2147.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:11 -

Since all G3956 these G3778 things G3778 are to be destroyed G3089 in G3779 this G3779 way G3779, what G4217 sort G4217 of people ought G1163 you to be in holy G40 conduct G391 and godliness G2150,

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:12 - looking G4328 for G4328 and hastening G4692 the coming G3952 of the day G2250 of God G2316, because G1223 of which G3739 the heavens G3772 will be destroyed G3089 by burning G4448, and the elements G4747 will melt G5080 with intense G2741 heat G2741!
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:13 - But according G2596 to His promise G1862 we are looking G4328 for G4328 new G2537 heavens G3772 and a new G2537 earth G1093, in which G3739 righteousness G1343 dwells G2730.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:14 -

Therefore G1352, beloved G27, since you look G4328 for G4328 these G3778 things G3778, be diligent G4704 to be found G2147 spotless G784 and blameless G298 by Him, at peace G1515,

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:15 - and regard G2233 the patience G3115 of our Lord G2962 as salvation G4991; just G2531 as G2531 also G2532 our beloved G27 brother G80 Paul G3972, according G2596 to the wisdom G4678 given G1325 him, wrote G1125 to you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:16 - as also G2532 in all G3956 his letters G1992, speaking G2980 in them of these G3778 things G3778, in which G3739 there are some G5100 things G5100 that are hard G1425 to G1425 understand G1425, which G3739 the untaught G261 and unstable G793 distort G4761, as they do also G2532 the rest G3062 of the Scriptures G1124, to their own G2398 destruction G684.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:17 - You therefore G3767, beloved G27, knowing G4267 this beforehand G4267, be on your guard G5442 so G2443 that G2443 you are not carried G4879 away G4879 by the error G4106 of [fn]unscrupulous G113 people G113 and lose G1601 your own G2398 [fn]firm G4740 commitment G4740,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:18 - but grow G837 in the grace G5485 and knowledge G1108 of our Lord G2962 and Savior G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547. To Him be the glory G1391, both G2532 now G3568 and to the day G2250 of eternity G165. Amen G281.
