1 # This <5026> second <1208> epistle <1992>, beloved <27>, I <1125> <0> now <2235> write <1125> (5719) unto you <5213>; in <1722> both which <3739> I stir up <1326> (5719) your <5216> pure <1506> minds <1271> by way <1722> of remembrance <5280>:
2 That ye may be mindful <3415> (5683) of the words <4487> which were spoken before <4280> (5772) by <5259> the holy <40> prophets <4396>, and <2532> of the commandment <1785> of us <2257> the apostles <652> of the Lord <2962> and <2532> Saviour <4990>:
 - RHEMA - WORD
3 # Knowing <1097> (5723) this <5124> first <4412>, that <3754> there shall come <2064> (5695) in <1909> the last <2078> days <2250> scoffers <1703>, walking <4198> (5740) after <2596> their <846> own <2398> lusts <1939>,
4 And <2532> saying <3004> (5723), Where <4226> is <2076> (5748) the promise <1860> of his <846> coming <3952>? for <1063> since <575> <3739> the fathers <3962> fell asleep <2837> (5681), all things <3956> continue <3779> <1265> (5719) as they were from <575> the beginning <746> of the creation <2937> .
5 For <1063> this <5124> they <846> willingly <2309> (5723) are ignorant of <2990> (5719) , that <3754> by the word <3056> of God <2316> the heavens <3772> were <2258> (5713) of old <1597>, and <2532> the earth <1093> standing out <4921> (5761) of <1537> the water <5204> and <2532> in <1223> the water <5204>:
6 Whereby <1223> <3739> the world <2889> that then was <5119>, being overflowed <2626> (5685) with water <5204>, perished <622> (5639):
7 But <1161> the heavens <3772> and <2532> the earth <1093>, which are now <3568>, by the same <846> word <3056> are <1526> (5748) kept in store <2343> (5772), reserved <5083> (5746) unto fire <4442> against <1519> the day <2250> of judgment <2920> and <2532> perdition <684> of ungodly <765> men <444>.
8 # But <1161>, beloved <27>, be <2990> <0> not <3361> <5209> ignorant <2990> (5720) of this one <1520> thing <5124>, that <3754> one <3391> day <2250> is with <3844> the Lord <2962> as <5613> a thousand <5507> years <2094>, and <2532> a thousand <5507> years <2094> as <5613> one <3391> day <2250>.
9 # The Lord <2962> is <1019> <0> not <3756> slack <1019> (5719) concerning his promise <1860> , as <5613> some men <5100> count <2233> (5736) slackness <1022>; but <235> is longsuffering <3114> (5719) to <1519> us-ward <2248>, not <3361> willing <1014> (5740) that any <5100> should perish <622> (5641) , but <235> that all <3956> should come <5562> (5658) to <1519> repentance <3341>.
10 But <1161> the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> will come <2240> (5692) as <5613> a thief <2812> in <1722> the night <3571>; in <1722> the which <3739> the heavens <3772> shall pass away <3928> (5695) with a great noise <4500>, and <1161> the elements <4747> shall melt <3089> (5701) with fervent heat <2741> (5746) , the earth <1093> also <2532> and <2532> the works <2041> that are therein <1722> <846> shall be burned up <2618> (5691).
11 # Seeing then <3767> that all <3956> these things <5130> shall be dissolved <3089> (5746), what manner <4217> of persons ought <1163> (5748) ye <5209> to be <5225> (5721) in <1722> all holy <40> conversation <391> and <2532> godliness <2150>,
12 Looking for <4328> (5723) and <2532> hasting <4692> (5723) unto the coming <3952> of the day <2250> of God <2316>, wherein <1223> <3739> the heavens <3772> being on fire <4448> (5746) shall be dissolved <3089> (5701), and <2532> the elements <4747> shall melt <5080> (5743) with fervent heat <2741> (5746)?
13 Nevertheless <1161> we <4328> <0>, according to <2596> his <846> promise <1862>, look for <4328> (5719) new <2537> heavens <3772> and <2532> a new <2537> earth <1093>, wherein <1722> <3739> dwelleth <2730> (5719) righteousness <1343>.
14 Wherefore <1352>, beloved <27>, seeing that ye look for <4328> (5723) such things <5023>, be diligent <4704> (5657) that ye may be found <2147> (5683) of him <846> in <1722> peace <1515>, without spot <784>, and <2532> blameless <298>.
15 And <2532> account <2233> (5737) that the longsuffering <3115> of our <2257> Lord <2962> is salvation <4991>; even as <2531> our <2257> beloved <27> brother <80> Paul <3972> also <2532> according to <2596> the wisdom <4678> given <1325> (5685) unto him <846> hath written <1125> (5656) unto you <5213> ;
16 As <5613> also <2532> in <1722> all <3956> his epistles <1992>, speaking <2980> (5723) in <1722> them <846> of <4012> these things <5130>; in <1722> which <3739> are <2076> (5748) some things <5100> hard to be understood <1425>, which <3739> they that are unlearned <261> and <2532> unstable <793> wrest <4761> (5719), as <5613> they do also <2532> the other <3062> scriptures <1124>, unto <4314> their <846> own <2398> destruction <684>.
17 Ye <5210> therefore <3767>, beloved <27>, seeing ye know these things before <4267> (5723), beware <5442> (5732) lest <3363> ye also <1601> <0>, being led away <4879> (5685) with the error <4106> of the wicked <113>, fall from <1601> (5632) your own <2398> stedfastness <4740>.
18 But <1161> grow <837> (5720) in <1722> grace <5485>, and <2532> in the knowledge <1108> of our <2257> Lord <2962> and <2532> Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. To him <846> be glory <1391> both <2532> now <3568> and <2532> for <1519> ever <165> <2250>. Amen <281>.
