ThisG5026 secondG1208 epistleG1992, belovedG27, IG1125 nowG2235 writeG1125 unto youG5213; inG1722 both whichG3739 I stir upG1326 yourG5216 pureG1506 mindsG1271 by wayG1722 of remembranceG5280:
That ye may be mindfulG3415 of the wordsG4487 which were spoken beforeG4280 byG5259 the holyG40 prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the commandmentG1785 of usG2257 the apostlesG652 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 there shall comeG2064 inG1909 the lastG2078 daysG2250 scoffersG1703, walkingG4198 afterG2596 theirG846 ownG2398 lustsG1939,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
ForG1063 thisG5124 theyG846 willinglyG2309 are ignorant ofG2990, thatG3754 by the wordG3056 of GodG2316 the heavensG3772 wereG2258 of oldG1597, andG2532 the earthG1093 standingG4921 out ofG1537 the waterG5204 andG2532 inG1223 the waterG5204: {standing: Gr. consisting}
WherebyG1223+G3739 the worldG2889 that then wasG5119, being overflowedG2626 with waterG5204, perishedG622:
ButG1161 the heavensG3772 andG2532 the earthG1093, which are nowG3568, by the sameG846 wordG3056 areG1526 kept in storeG2343, reservedG5083 unto fireG4442 againstG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 perditionG684 of ungodlyG765 menG444.
ButG1161, belovedG27, beG2990 notG3361+G5209 ignorantG2990 of this oneG1520 thingG5124, thatG3754 oneG3391 dayG2250 is withG3844 the LordG2962 asG5613 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094, andG2532 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094 asG5613 oneG3391 dayG2250.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089, what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163 yeG5209 to beG5225 inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
Looking forG4328 andG2532 hastingG4692 unto the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, whereinG1223+G3739 the heavensG3772 being on fireG4448 shall be dissolvedG3089, andG2532 the elementsG4747 shall meltG5080 with fervent heatG2741? {hasting…: or, hasting the coming}
NeverthelessG1161 weG4328, according toG2596 hisG846 promiseG1862, look forG4328 newG2537 heavensG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093, whereinG1722+G3739 dwellethG2730 righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;
AsG5613 alsoG2532 inG1722 allG3956 his epistlesG1992, speakingG2980 inG1722 themG846 ofG4012 these thingsG5130; inG1722 whichG3739 areG2076 some thingsG5100 hard to be understoodG1425, whichG3739 they that are unlearnedG261 andG2532 unstableG793 wrestG4761, asG5613 they do alsoG2532 the otherG3062 scripturesG1124, untoG4314 theirG846 ownG2398 destructionG684.
YeG5210 thereforeG3767, belovedG27, seeing ye know these things beforeG4267, bewareG5442 lestG3363 ye alsoG1601, being led awayG4879 with the errorG4106 of the wickedG113, fall fromG1601 your ownG2398 stedfastnessG4740.
ButG1161 growG837 inG1722 graceG5485, andG2532 in the knowledgeG1108 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To himG846 be gloryG1391 bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 forG1519 everG165+G2250. AmenG281.

ForG1063 ourG2257 conversationG4175 isG5225 inG1722 heavenG3772; fromG1537 whenceG3739 alsoG2532 we look forG553 the SaviourG4990, the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {conversation…: or, we live or conduct ourselves as citizens of heaven, or, for obtaining heaven}
AndG2532+G1161 besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG703 knowledgeG1108;
AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG1108 temperanceG1466; andG1161 toG1722 temperanceG1466 patienceG5281; andG1161 toG1722 patienceG5281 godlinessG2150;
AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG5360 charityG26.
ForG1063 if these thingsG5023 beG5225 in youG5213, andG2532 aboundG4121, they makeG2525 you that ye shall neitherG3756 be barrenG692 norG3761 unfruitfulG175 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {barren: Gr. idle}
ButG1063 he thatG3739 lackethG3361+G3918 these thingsG5023 isG2076 blindG5185, and cannot see afar offG3467, and hath forgottenG3024+G2983 that he was purged fromG2512 hisG846 oldG3819 sinsG266.
WhereforeG1352 the ratherG3123, brethrenG80, give diligenceG4704 to makeG4160 yourG5216 callingG2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if ye doG4160 these thingsG5023, ye shallG4218+G4417 neverG3364 fallG4218+G4417:
WhereforeG3767 ifG1437 they shall sayG2036 unto youG5213, BeholdG2400, he isG2076 inG1722 the desertG2048; goG1831 notG3361 forthG1831: beholdG2400, he is inG1722 the secret chambersG5009; believeG4100 it notG3361.
SoG3779 ChristG5547 was onceG530 offeredG4374 toG1519 bearG399 the sinsG266 of manyG4183; and unto them that lookG553 for himG846 shall he appearG3700+G1537 the second timeG1208 withoutG5565 sinG266 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
AndG2532 every manG3956 that hathG2192 thisG5026 hopeG1680 inG1909 himG846 purifiethG48 himselfG1438, even asG2531 heG1565 isG2076 pureG53.
LordG1203, nowG3568 lettest thouG630 thyG4675 servantG1401 departG630 inG1722 peaceG1515, accordingG2596 to thyG4675 wordG4487:
BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160.
WhoG3739 shallG950 alsoG2532 confirmG950 youG5209 untoG2193 the endG5056, that ye may be blamelessG410 inG1722 the dayG2250 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, be yeG1096 stedfastG1476, unmoveableG277, alwaysG3842 aboundingG4052 inG1722 the workG2041 of the LordG2962, forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 yourG5216 labourG2873 isG2076 notG3756 in vainG2756 inG1722 the LordG2962.
ThatG1519 yeG5209 may approveG1381 things that are excellentG1308; thatG2443 ye may beG5600 sincereG1506 andG2532 without offenceG677 tillG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547; {approve: or, try} {are…: or, differ}
