2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: mindful^G3415 words^G4487 before^G4280 by^G5259 holy^G40 prophets^G4396 and^G2532 commandment^G1785 us^G2257 apostles^G652 Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990 See also: Jude 1:17 Luke 1:70 2 Peter 2:21 Luke 24:44 1 Peter 1:10-12

3 ¶ Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, Knowing^G1097 this^G5124 first^G4412 that^G3754 come^G2064 in^G1909 last^G2078 days^G2250 scoffers^G1703 walking^G4198 after^G2596 their^G846 own^G2398 lusts^G1939 See also: Jude 1:18 1 Timothy 4:1-2 2 Peter 2:10 2 Corinthians 4:2 Jude 1:16

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. And^G2532 saying^G3004 Where^G4226 is^G2076 promise^G1860 his^G846 coming^G3952 for^G1063 since^G575 since^G3739 fathers^G3962 asleep^G2837 things^G3956 continue^G3779 continue^G1265 from^G575 beginning^G746 creation^G2937 See also: Jeremiah 17:15 Malachi 2:17 Jeremiah 5:12-13 Luke 12:45 Isaiah 5:18-19

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: For^G1063 this^G5124 they^G846 willingly^G2309 of^G2990 that^G3754 word^G3056 God^G2316 heavens^G3772 were^G2258 old^G1597 and^G2532 earth^G1093 out^G4921 of^G1537 water^G5204 and^G2532 in^G1223 water^G5204 See also: Hebrews 11:3 Genesis 1:9 Psalms 24:2 Genesis 1:6 Psalms 33:6

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But^G1161 heavens^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093 now^G3568 same^G846 word^G3056 are^G1526 store^G2343 reserved^G5083 fire^G4442 against^G1519 day^G2250 judgment^G2920 and^G2532 perdition^G684 ungodly^G765 men^G444 See also: Isaiah 51:6 2 Peter 3:10 2 Peter 3:12 Revelation 21:1 Matthew 24:35

8 ¶ But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. But^G1161 beloved^G27 be^G2990 not^G3361 not^G5209 ignorant^G2990 one^G1520 thing^G5124 that^G3754 one^G3391 day^G2250 with^G3844 Lord^G2962 as^G5613 thousand^G5507 years^G2094 and^G2532 thousand^G5507 years^G2094 as^G5613 one^G3391 day^G2250 See also: Psalms 90:4 Romans 11:25 1 Corinthians 10:1 1 Corinthians 12:1

9 ¶ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Lord^G2962 is^G1019 not^G3756 slack^G1019 promise^G1860 as^G5613 men^G5100 count^G2233 slackness^G1022 but^G235 longsuffering^G3114 to^G1519 us-ward^G2248 not^G3361 willing^G1014 any^G5100 perish^G622 but^G235 all^G3956 come^G5562 to^G1519 repentance^G3341 See also: 1 Timothy 2:4 Romans 2:4 Psalms 86:15 Habakkuk 2:3 Isaiah 30:18

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. But^G1161 day^G2250 Lord^G2962 come^G2240 as^G5613 thief^G2812 in^G1722 night^G3571 in^G1722 which^G3739 heavens^G3772 away^G3928 noise^G4500 and^G1161 elements^G4747 melt^G3089 heat^G2741 earth^G1093 also^G2532 and^G2532 works^G2041 therein^G1722 therein^G846 up^G2618 See also: Revelation 21:1 Matthew 24:35 2 Peter 3:7 Revelation 16:15 Isaiah 51:6

11 ¶ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, then^G3767 all^G3956 things^G5130 dissolved^G3089 manner^G4217 ought^G1163 ye^G5209 be^G5225 in^G1722 holy^G40 conversation^G391 and^G2532 godliness^G2150 See also: 1 Peter 1:15 Philippians 1:27 1 Peter 2:12 1 Timothy 6:11 2 Peter 3:12

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? for^G4328 and^G2532 hasting^G4692 coming^G3952 day^G2250 God^G2316 wherein^G1223 wherein^G3739 heavens^G3772 fire^G4448 dissolved^G3089 and^G2532 elements^G4747 melt^G5080 heat^G2741 See also: 2 Peter 3:10 Isaiah 34:4 Micah 1:4 Titus 2:13 Psalms 50:3

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Nevertheless^G1161 we^G4328 to^G2596 his^G846 promise^G1862 for^G4328 new^G2537 heavens^G3772 and^G2532 new^G2537 earth^G1093 wherein^G1722 wherein^G3739 dwelleth^G2730 righteousness^G1343 See also: Isaiah 65:17 Revelation 21:1 Isaiah 66:22 Revelation 21:27 Isaiah 60:21

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Wherefore^G1352 beloved^G27 for^G4328 things^G5023 diligent^G4704 found^G2147 him^G846 in^G1722 peace^G1515 spot^G784 and^G2532 blameless^G298 See also: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 1 Thessalonians 3:13 1 Corinthians 15:58 Philippians 1:10 1 John 3:3

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. As^G5613 also^G2532 in^G1722 all^G3956 epistles^G1992 speaking^G2980 in^G1722 them^G846 of^G4012 things^G5130 in^G1722 which^G3739 are^G2076 things^G5100 understood^G1425 which^G3739 unlearned^G261 and^G2532 unstable^G793 wrest^G4761 as^G5613 also^G2532 other^G3062 scriptures^G1124 unto^G4314 their^G846 own^G2398 destruction^G684 See also: Matthew 15:6 Hebrews 5:11 Philippians 3:19 James 1:8 2 Peter 2:14

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. Ye^G5210 therefore^G3767 beloved^G27 before^G4267 beware^G5442 lest^G3363 also^G1601 away^G4879 error^G4106 wicked^G113 from^G1601 own^G2398 stedfastness^G4740 See also: Colossians 2:8 Hebrews 3:14 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 1 Corinthians 15:58 1 Corinthians 10:12
