¹ G5026 This G1208 second G1992 epistle G27 , beloved G1125 , I G2235 now G1125 write [G5719]   G5213 unto you G1722 ; in G3739 both which G1326 I stir up [G5719]   G5216 your G1506 pure G1271 minds G1722 by way G5280 of remembrance:

² G3415 That ye may be mindful [G5683]   G4487 of the words G4280 which were spoken before [G5772]   G5259 by G40 the holy G4396 prophets G2532 , and G1785 of the commandment G2257 of us G652 the apostles G2962 of the Lord G2532 and G4990 Saviour:

³ G1097 Knowing [G5723]   G5124 this G4412 first G3754 , that G2064 there shall come [G5695]   G1909 in G2078 the last G2250 days G1703 scoffers G4198 , walking [G5740]   G2596 after G846 their G2398 own G1939 lusts,

⁴ G2532 And G3004 saying [G5723]   G4226 , Where G2076 is [G5748]   G1860 the promise G846 of his G3952 coming G1063 ? for G575 since G3739   G3962 the fathers G2837 fell asleep [G5681]   G3956 , all things G3779 continue G1265   [G5719]   G575 as they were from G746 the beginning G2937 of the creation.

⁵ G1063 For G5124 this G846 they G2309 willingly [G5723]   G2990 are ignorant of [G5719]   G3754 , that G3056 by the word G2316 of God G3772 the heavens G2258 were [G5713]   G1597 of old G2532 , and G1093 the earth G4921 standing out [G5761]   G1537 of G5204 the water G2532 and G1223 in G5204 the water:

⁶ G1223 Whereby G3739   G2889 the world G5119 that then was G2626 , being overflowed [G5685]   G5204 with water G622 , perished [G5639]  :

⁷ G1161 But G3772 the heavens G2532 and G1093 the earth G3568 , which are now G846 , by the same G3056 word G1526 are [G5748]   G2343 kept in store [G5772]   G5083 , reserved [G5746]   G4442 unto fire G1519 against G2250 the day G2920 of judgment G2532 and G684 perdition G765 of ungodly G444 men.

⁸ G1161 But G27 , beloved G2990 , be G3361 not G5209   G2990 ignorant [G5720]   G1520 of this one G5124 thing G3754 , that G3391 one G2250 day G3844 is with G2962 the Lord G5613 as G5507 a thousand G2094 years G2532 , and G5507 a thousand G2094 years G5613 as G3391 one G2250 day.

⁹ G2962 The Lord G1019 is G3756 not G1019 slack [G5719]   G1860 concerning his promise G5613 , as G5100 some men G2233 count [G5736]   G1022 slackness G235 ; but G3114 is longsuffering [G5719]   G1519 to G2248 us-ward G3361 , not G1014 willing [G5740]   G5100 that any G622 should perish [G5641]   G235 , but G3956 that all G5562 should come [G5658]   G1519 to G3341 repentance.

¹⁰ G1161 But G2250 the day G2962 of the Lord G2240 will come [G5692]   G5613 as G2812 a thief G1722 in G3571 the night G1722 ; in G3739 the which G3772 the heavens G3928 shall pass away [G5695]   G4500 with a great noise G1161 , and G4747 the elements G3089 shall melt [G5701]   G2741 with fervent heat [G5746]   G1093 , the earth G2532 also G2532 and G2041 the works G1722 that are therein G846   G2618 shall be burned up [G5691]  .

¹¹ G3767 Seeing then G3956 that all G5130 these things G3089 shall be dissolved [G5746]   G4217 , what manner G1163 of persons ought [G5748]   G5209 ye G5225 to be [G5721]   G1722 in G40 all holy G391 conversation G2532 and G2150 godliness,

¹² G4328 Looking for [G5723]   G2532 and G4692 hasting [G5723]   G3952 unto the coming G2250 of the day G2316 of God G1223 , wherein G3739   G3772 the heavens G4448 being on fire [G5746]   G3089 shall be dissolved [G5701]   G2532 , and G4747 the elements G5080 shall melt [G5743]   G2741 with fervent heat [G5746]  ?

¹³ G1161 Nevertheless G4328 we G2596 , according to G846 his G1862 promise G4328 , look for [G5719]   G2537 new G3772 heavens G2532 and G2537 a new G1093 earth G1722 , wherein G3739   G2730 dwelleth [G5719]   G1343 righteousness.

¹⁴ G1352 Wherefore G27 , beloved G4328 , seeing that ye look for [G5723]   G5023 such things G4704 , be diligent [G5657]   G2147 that ye may be found [G5683]   G846 of him G1722 in G1515 peace G784 , without spot G2532 , and G298 blameless.

¹⁵ G2532 And G2233 account [G5737]   G3115 that the longsuffering G2257 of our G2962 Lord G4991 is salvation G2531 ; even as G2257 our G27 beloved G80 brother G3972 Paul G2532 also G2596 according to G4678 the wisdom G1325 given [G5685]   G846 unto him G1125 hath written [G5656]   G5213 unto you;

¹⁶ G5613 As G2532 also G1722 in G3956 all G1992 his epistles G2980 , speaking [G5723]   G1722 in G846 them G4012 of G5130 these things G1722 ; in G3739 which G2076 are [G5748]   G5100 some things G1425 hard to be understood G3739 , which G261 they that are unlearned G2532 and G793 unstable G4761 wrest [G5719]   G5613 , as G2532 they do also G3062 the other G1124 scriptures G4314 , unto G846 their G2398 own G684 destruction.

¹⁷ G5210 Ye G3767 therefore G27 , beloved G4267 , seeing ye know these things before [G5723]   G5442 , beware [G5732]   G3363 lest G1601 ye also G4879 , being led away [G5685]   G4106 with the error G113 of the wicked G1601 , fall from [G5632]   G2398 your own G4740 stedfastness.

¹⁸ G1161 But G837 grow [G5720]   G1722 in G5485 grace G2532 , and G1108 in the knowledge G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2532 and G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G846 . To him G1391 be glory G2532 both G3568 now G2532 and G1519 for G165 ever G2250   G281 . Amen.
