[1]ThisG5026 secondG1208 epistleG1992, belovedG27, IG1125 nowG2235 writeG1125[G5719] unto youG5213; inG1722 both whichG3739 I stir upG1326[G5719] yourG5216 pureG1506 mindsG1271 by wayG1722 of remembranceG5280:
[2]That ye may be mindfulG3415[G5683] of the wordsG4487 which were spoken beforeG4280[G5772] byG5259 the holyG40 prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the commandmentG1785 of usG2257 the apostlesG652 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990:
[3]KnowingG1097[G5723] thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 there shall comeG2064[G5695] inG1909 the lastG2078 daysG2250 scoffersG1703, walkingG4198[G5740] afterG2596 theirG846 ownG2398 lustsG1939,
[4]AndG2532 sayingG3004[G5723], WhereG4226 isG2076[G5748] the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575[G3739] the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837[G5681], all thingsG3956 continueG3779[G1265][G5719] as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
[5]ForG1063 thisG5124 theyG846 willinglyG2309[G5723] are ignorant ofG2990[G5719], thatG3754 by the wordG3056 of GodG2316 the heavensG3772 wereG2258[G5713] of oldG1597, andG2532 the earthG1093 standing outG4921[G5761] ofG1537 the waterG5204 andG2532 inG1223 the waterG5204:
[6]WherebyG1223[G3739] the worldG2889 that then wasG5119, being overflowedG2626[G5685] with waterG5204, perishedG622:[G5639]
[7]ButG1161 the heavensG3772 andG2532 the earthG1093, which are nowG3568, by the sameG846 wordG3056 areG1526[G5748] kept in storeG2343[G5772], reservedG5083[G5746] unto fireG4442 againstG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 perditionG684 of ungodlyG765 menG444.
[8]ButG1161, belovedG27, beG2990 notG3361[G5209] ignorantG2990[G5720] of this oneG1520 thingG5124, thatG3754 oneG3391 dayG2250 is withG3844 the LordG2962 asG5613 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, andG2532 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 asG5613 oneG3391 dayG2250.
[9]The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019[G5719] concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233[G5736] slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114[G5719] toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014[G5740] that anyG5100 should perishG622[G5641], butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562[G5658] toG1519 repentanceG3341.
[10]ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240[G5692] asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928[G5695] with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089[G5701] with fervent heatG2741[G5746], the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722[G846] shall be burned upG2618.[G5691]
[11]Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089[G5746], what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163[G5748] yeG5209 to beG5225[G5721] inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
[12]Looking forG4328[G5723] andG2532 hastingG4692[G5723] unto the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, whereinG1223[G3739] the heavensG3772 being on fireG4448[G5746] shall be dissolvedG3089[G5701], andG2532 the elementsG4747 shall meltG5080[G5743] with fervent heatG2741?[G5746]
[13]NeverthelessG1161 weG4328, according toG2596 hisG846 promiseG1862, look forG4328[G5719] newG2537 heavensG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093, whereinG1722[G3739] dwellethG2730[G5719] righteousnessG1343.
[14]WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328[G5723] such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704[G5657] that ye may be foundG2147[G5683] of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
[15]AndG2532 accountG2233[G5737] that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325[G5685] unto himG846 hath writtenG1125[G5656] unto youG5213;
[16]AsG5613 alsoG2532 inG1722 allG3956 his epistlesG1992, speakingG2980[G5723] inG1722 themG846 ofG4012 these thingsG5130; inG1722 whichG3739 areG2076[G5748] some thingsG5100 hard to be understoodG1425, whichG3739 they that are unlearnedG261 andG2532 unstableG793 wrestG4761[G5719], asG5613 they do alsoG2532 the otherG3062 scripturesG1124, untoG4314 theirG846 ownG2398 destructionG684.
[17]YeG5210 thereforeG3767, belovedG27, seeing ye know these things beforeG4267[G5723], bewareG5442[G5732] lestG3363 ye alsoG1601, being led awayG4879[G5685] with the errorG4106 of the wickedG113, fall fromG1601[G5632] your ownG2398 stedfastnessG4740.
[18]ButG1161 growG837[G5720] inG1722 graceG5485, andG2532 in the knowledgeG1108 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To himG846 be gloryG1391 bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 forG1519 everG165[G2250]. AmenG281.
