II Peter 3

3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; 
in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 

3:2 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: 

3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 

3:4 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.

3:5 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: 

3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 

3:7 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.

3:8 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.

3:9 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.

3:10 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.

3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 

3:12 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? 

3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, 
wherein dwelleth righteousness.

3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless.

3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; 
even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 

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.

3:17 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.

3:18 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.
