¹ This second Epistle (beloued) I now write vnto you, in both which I stir vp your pure mindes by way of remembrance:

² That yee may be mindfull of the wordes which were spoken before by the holy Prophets, and of the Commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour:

³ Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their owne lusts,

⁴ And saying, Where is the promise of his comming? For since the fathers fell asleepe, all things continue as they were frō the beginning of the creation.

⁵ For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heauens were of olde, and the earth standing out of the water, and in the water,

⁶ Whereby the world that then was, being ouerflowed with water, perished.

⁷ But the heauens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserued vnto fire against the day of Iudgement, and perdition of vngodly men.

⁸ But (beloued) bee not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand yeeres, and a thousand yeeres as one day.

⁹ The Lord is not slacke cōcerning his promise (as some men count slacknesse) but is long-suffring to vs-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord wil come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a great noise, and the Elements shall melt with feruent heate, the earth also and the works that are therin shalbe burnt vp.

¹¹ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolued, What maner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conuersation, and godlinesse,

¹² Looking for and hasting vnto the comming of the day of God, wherein the heauens being on fire shalbe dissolued, and the Elements shall melt with feruent heat.

¹³ Neuerthelesse wee, according to his promise, looke for new heauens, and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse.

¹⁴ Wherefore (beloued) seeing that ye looke for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blamelesse.

¹⁵ And account that the long suffering of the Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul also, according to the wisedome giuen vnto him, hath written vnto you.

¹⁶ As also in all his Epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be vnderstood, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable wrest, as they doe also the other Scriptures, vnto their owne destruction.

¹⁷ Ye therefore, beloued, seeing yee know these things before, beware lest yee also being led away with the errour of the wicked, fall from your owne stedfastnesse.

¹⁸ But growe in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be glory both now and for euer. Amen.

Josh's 2 Peter Chapter 3 comment on 4/30/2013, 2:40pm...

this chapter tells me that the simplicity of gods word will be overlooked by many. Many in that day will say unto him lord, lord on that great and notible day and the lord will know them not. Be weary of those that claim they know gods word. be weary of those that claim the truth is harder to be understood than it is. Let us be like the tax collecter preying in front of the temple that looked unto heaven and said father forgive me for i am a sinner. dont tell god of your good works when you pray. ask him to forgive you when you pray. Its not what you dont do that will send you to heaven its what you do.

inspiring, we must remain obedient through christ.

NATHAN KIIBI's 2 Peter Chapter 3 comment about verse 4 on 3/19/2013, 6:32am...

This is an argument that fills the minds of many in this generation. People, let’s not act like Christ's coming is far yet in reality; we are in those days that were prophesied in history.

Timothy Sims's 2 Peter Chapter 3 comment about verse 17 on 2/01/2013, 5:26pm...

What a powerful book and chapter! Peter understands that the Lord's coming back and implores us to be ready. He gives strict warnings to us not to be led away with the error of the wicked... once saved, always saved? Only if you don't walk away or are not led away that he won’t leave us. But we can leave him... The bible bears this out through and through. Don’t forget these letters.

Anthony C Bonds's 2 Peter Chapter 3 comment about verse 6 on 1/27/2013, 9:35am...

This perfectly describes the first earth age where Satan rebelled and God destroyed that age. This is where the book of Genesis picks up.

Even so, come Lord Jesus. We are to watch for His appearing! Matthew 25:13

Timothy Wayne George's 2 Peter Chapter 3 comment on 8/16/2012, 8:19am...

Peter is helping us to understand that in the last days, there will be many scoffers walking after their lust, saying where is this promise of the coming of the Lord. Since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have, but they say this willing because of their lust. Unlearned and unstable men wrest the scriptures to say things that are not inspired by God. Paul was given wisdom by God, and he wrote about the day of the Lord would come as a thief in the night. Peter goes on to say that the heavens will pass away with a great noise and fervent heat. Since all these things are going to happen, we should have a holy conversation, and live a godly life so that day will soon come. God is patient toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all men would come to repentance. The heavens are reserved unto fire for the ungodly, and men of perdition. There is a heaven where there dwells righteousness, and we are to be found in peace with God to go there. When we repent of our sins, and turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are imputed with the righteousness of Christ. We will be ready for the day of the Lord. The promise of God is sure, and a day is as a 1000 yrs. to God, so we have to be patient as we wait for the Lord's coming.

Hemant's 2 Peter Chapter 3 comment on 7/02/2012, 1:55pm...

"Beloved" Though this epistle is the written work of Peter, but inspired by the spirit of the God, here we see the execution of God's TRUE LOVE to us. Hardly people call others their BELOVED.But here the apostle of the Savior and the Lord says and addresses the believers as Beloved. It is wonderful to be loved by the very God who is the creator and the forgiver/savior of the whole world. He fell into such an extent that though he being in the supreme position of the whole universe he descended to this earth in the form of man. Today the most of the world denies HIM because he came as an ordinary man, not the son of a king, or one of the richest heirs of this world. That is why he was mocked right from the beginning right from his birth and it is ongoing... (to be contd)
