CHAP. III.
1 Hee sheweth that hee writeth the same things againe, 2 because
they must often be stirred vp, 4 because dangers hang
ouer their heades through certaine mockers: 8 therefore
hee warneth the godly that they doe not after the iudgement
of the flesh, 12 appoint the day of the Lorde, 14 but that
they thinke it alwayes at hand, 15 in which doctrine he sheweth
that Paul agreeth with him.
1 This note seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you,
beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne
your pure mindes,
2 To call to remembrance the wordes, which
were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also
the commaundement of vs the Apostles of the
Lord and Sauiour.
3 note noteThis first vnderstande, that there shall
come in the last dayes, note mockers, which wil walke
after their lustes,
4 noteAnd say, Where is the promes of his comming?
for since the fathers died, all things continue
alike from the beginning of the creation.
5 noteFor this they willingly know not, that the
heauens were of olde, and the note earth that was of
Of the day of the Lord.
the water and by the water, by the word of God.
6 noteWherefore the worlde that then was, perished,
ouerflowed with the note water.
7 noteBut the heauens and earth, which are
nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued
vnto fire against the day of condemnation,
and of the destruction of vngodly men.
8 noteDearely beloued, be not ignorant of this
one thing, that one day is with the Lorde, note as
a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres as
one day.
9 noteThe Lord of that promes is not slacke (as
some men count slackenesse) note but is pacient toward
vs, and note would haue no man to perish, but
would all men to come to repentance.
10 noteBut the note day of the Lord will come as a
thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall
passe away with a note noyse, and the elements shall
melt with heate, and the earth with the workes
that are therein, shalbe burnt vp.
11 noteSeeing therefore that all these thinges
must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to
be in holy conuersation and godlinesse,
12 Looking for, and note hasting vnto the comming
of that day of God, by the which the heauens
being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements
shall melt with heate?
13 But wee looke for note newe heauens, and a
newe earth, according to his promes, note wherein
dwelleth righteousnesse.
14 Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke
for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found
of him in note peace, without spot and blamelesse.
15 noteAnd suppose that the long suffering of
our Lord is saluation, note euen as our beloued brother
Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto
him wrote to you,
16 As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of
these thinges: note among the note which some thinges
are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned
and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other
Scriptures vnto their owne destruction.
17 Ye therefore beloued, seeing ye know these
thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away
with the errour of the wicked, and fall from
your owne stedfastnesse.
18 But growe in grace, and in the knowledge
of our Lorde and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be
glory both now and for euermore. Amen.
