# 2 Peter 3 (New King James Version)
|
|
God's Promise Is Not Slack
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 3
|
|
###### 1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in _both of_ which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),
|
|
###### 2 that you 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 Savior,
|
|
###### 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,
|
|
###### 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 creation."
|
|
###### 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,
|
|
###### 6 by which the world _that_ then existed perished, being flooded with water.
|
|
###### 7 But the heavens and the earth _which_ are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day _is_ as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
|
|
###### 9 The Lord is not slack concerning _His_ promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.The Day of the Lord
|
|
|
|
###### 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
|
|
###### 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner _of persons_ ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
|
|
###### 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
|
|
###### 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.Be Steadfast
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
|
|
###### 15 and consider _that_ the longsuffering of our Lord _is_ salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,
|
|
###### 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable _people_ twist to their own destruction, as _they do_ also the rest of the Scriptures.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know _this_ beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
|
|
###### 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
|
|
To Him _be_ the glory both now and forever. Amen.
