3:1 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:

3:2 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:

3:3 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,

3:4 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.

3:5 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 4921 5761 out of 1537 the water 5204 and 2532 in 1223 the water 5204:(standing: Gr. consisting)

3:6 Whereby 1223 3739 the world 2889 that then was 5119, being overflowed 2626 5685 with water 5204, perished 622 5639:

3:7 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.

3:8 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.

3:9 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.

3:10 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.

3:11 [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,

3:12 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?(hasting…: or, hasting the coming)

3:13 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.

3:14 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.

3:15 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;

3:16 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.

3:17 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.

3:18 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.
