[[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-5|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: [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-6|6]] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-7|7]] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved to fire against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-8|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. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-9|9]] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-10|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. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-11|11]] [(//Seeing//)] then [(//that//)] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [(//of persons//)] ought you to be in [(//all//)] holy conversation and godliness, [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-12|12]] Looking for and hasting to the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-13|13]] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-14|14]] Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-15|15]] And account [(//that//)] the long-suffering of our Lord [(//is//)] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given to him hath written to you; [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-16|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 unlearnt and unstable wrest, as [(//they do//)] also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-17|17]] You therefore, beloved, seeing you know [(//these things//)] before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter3-18|18]] But grow in grace, and [(//in//)] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [(//be//)] glory both now and for ever. Amen. ---- [[http://christopedia.eu|{{:new_testament:matthew:matthew:chapters:home-icon.png?15|home}}]] Chapters: [[new testament:2peter:2peter:chapters:chapter1|1]] [[new testament:2peter:2peter:chapters:chapter2|2]] [[new testament:2peter:2peter:chapters:chapter3|3]] {{like>}}
