The Day of the Lord

3Dear friends, this is now the second letter I've written you; in both, I awaken your pure understanding with a reminder,G5026G1208G1992G27G1125G2235G1125G5213G1722G3739G1326G5216G1506G1271G1722G5280
2so that you can remember the words previously spoken by the holy prophets, and the commandment of our Lord and Savior [given] through your apostles.G3415G4487G4280G5259G40G4396G2532G1785G2257G652G2962G2532G4990
3First, be aware of this: scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, following their own lusts,G1097G5124G4412G3754G2064G1909G2078G2250G1703G4198G2596G846G2398G1939
4saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation."G2532G3004G4226G2076G1860G846G3952G1063G575G3739G3962G2837G3956G3779G1265G575G746G2937
5They willfully ignore this: long ago the heavens and the earth existed out of water and through water by the word of God.G1063G5124G846G2309G2990G3754G3056G2316G3772G2258G1597G2532G1093G4921G1537G5204G2532G1223G5204
6Through these the world of that time perished when it was flooded by water.G1223G3739G2889G5119G2626G5204G622
7But by the same word the present heavens and earth are held in store for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.G1161G3772G2532G1093G3568G846G3056G1526G2343G5083G4442G1519G2250G2920G2532G684G765G444
8Dear friends, don't let this one thing escape you: with the Lord one day is like 1,000 years, and 1,000 years like one day.G1161G27G2990G3361G5209G2990G1520G5124G3754G3391G2250G3844G2962G5613G5507G2094G2532G5507G2094G5613G3391G2250
9The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.G2962G1019G3756G1019G1860G5613G5100G2233G1022G235G3114G1519G2248G3361G1014G5100G622G235G3956G5562G1519G3341
10But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that [day] the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.G1161G2250G2962G2240G5613G2812G1722G3571G1722G3739G3772G3928G4500G1161G4747G3089G2741G1093G2532G2532G2041G1722G846G2618
11Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, [it is clear] what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godlinessG3767G3956G5130G3089G4217G1163G5209G5225G1722G40G391G2532G2150
12as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be on fire and be dissolved, and the elements will melt with the heat.G4328G2532G4692G3952G2250G2316G1223G3739G3772G4448G3089G2532G4747G5080G2741
13But based on His promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will dwell.G1161G4328G2596G846G1862G4328G2537G3772G2532G2537G1093G1722G3739G2730G1343

Conclusion

14Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found in peace without spot or blemish before Him.G1352G27G4328G5023G4704G2147G846G1722G1515G784G2532G298
15Also, regard the patience of our Lord as [an opportunity for] salvation, just as our dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you.G2532G2233G3115G2257G2962G4991G2531G2257G27G80G3972G2532G2596G4678G1325G846G1125G5213
16He speaks about these things in all his letters, in which there are some matters that are hard to understand. The untaught and unstable twist them to their own destruction, as they also do with the rest of the Scriptures.G5613G2532G1722G3956G1992G2980G1722G846G4012G5130G1722G3739G2076G5100G1425G3739G261G2532G793G4761G5613G2532G3062G1124G4314G846G2398G684
17Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard, so that you are not led away by the error of the immoral and fall from your own stability.G5210G3767G27G4267G5442G3363G1601G4879G4106G113G1601G2398G4740
18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.G1161G837G1722G5485G2532G1108G2257G2962G2532G4990G2424G5547G846G1391G2532G3568G2532G1519G165G2250G281
