Purpose of This Letter

(Gen 6:5—8:22 )
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:1 - This second epistle, beloved, I now write to you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:2 - 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 Savior:

The Coming Day of the Lord

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:3 - Knowing this first, that there will come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:4 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:5 - 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:
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:6 - By which the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:7 - But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved to fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:8 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

A New Heaven and Earth

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:10 - 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 melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein will be burned up.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:11 - Seeing then that all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy deportment and godliness,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:12 - Looking for and hasting to the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:13 - Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwelleth righteousness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:14 - Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:15 - And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written to you;
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:16 - 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, to their own destruction.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:17 - 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 steadfastness.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 3:18 - But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
