2 Peter 3:9-18
9The LordG2962 is not slack concerning his promiseG1860, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perishG622, but that all should come to repentanceG3341. 10But the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 as a thiefG2812; in the which the heavensG3772 shall passG3928 awayG3928 with a great noise, and the elementsG4747 shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earthG1093 and the worksG2041 that are therein shall be burnedG2618 up. 11Seeing that these thingsG3778 are thus all to be dissolved, what mannerG391 of persons oughtG1163 ye to be in all holyG40 living and godlinessG2150, 12lookingG4328 for and earnestly desiring the coming of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, by reason of which the heavensG3772 being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elementsG4747 shall melt with fervent heat? 13But, accordingG2596 to his promise, we lookG4328 for newG2537 heavensG3772 and a newG2537 earthG1093, wherein dwelleth righteousnessG1343.
14Wherefore, belovedG27, seeing that ye lookG4328 for these thingsG3778, give diligence that ye may be foundG2147 in peaceG1515, without spot and blameless in his sight. 15And account that the longsuffering of our LordG2962 is salvationG4991; evenG2532 as our belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532, accordingG2596 to the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 to him, wroteG1125 unto you; 16as alsoG2532 in all his epistles, speakingG2980 in them of these thingsG3778; wherein areG1510 some thingsG3778 hard to beG1510 understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as they do alsoG2532 the otherG3062 scripturesG1124, unto their ownG2398 destructionG684. 17Ye thereforeG3767, belovedG27, knowingG4267 these things beforehand, beware lestG3361, being carried awayG4879 with the errorG4106 of the wicked, ye fall from your ownG2398 stedfastness. 18But growG837 in the graceG5485 and knowledgeG1108 of our LordG2962 and Saviour JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To him be the gloryG1391 both nowG1161 and for ever. AmenG281.
