Theologa | 2 peter 3:3:1

3:1

Ταυτην ηδη αγαπητοι δευτεραν υμιν γραφω επιστολην εν αις διεγειρω υμων εν υπομνησει την ειλικρινη διανοιαν

This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;

3:2

μνησθηναι των προειρημενων ρηματων υπο των αγιων προφητων και της των αποστολων υμων εντολης του Κυριου και Σωτηρος

that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:

3:3

τουτο πρωτον γινωσκοντες οτι ελευσονται επ εσχατων των ημερων εν εμπαιγμονη εμπαικται κατα τας ιδιας επιθυμιας αυτων πορευομενοι

knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,

3:4

και λεγοντες Που εστιν η επαγγελια της παρουσιας αυτου αφ ης γαρ οι πατερες εκοιμηθησαν παντα ουτως διαμενει απ αρχης κτισεως

and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

3:5

Λανθανει γαρ αυτους τουτο θελοντας οτι ουρανοι ησαν εκπαλαι και γη εξ υδατος και δι υδατος συνεστωσα τω του Θεου λογω

For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;

3:6

δι ων ο τοτε κοσμος υδατι κατακλυσθεις απωλετο

by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

3:7

οι δε νυν ουρανοι και η γη τω αυτω λογω τεθησαυρισμενοι εισιν πυρι τηρουμενοι εις ημεραν κρισεως και απωλειας των ασεβων ανθρωπων

but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

3:8

Εν δε τουτο μη λανθανετω υμας αγαπητοι οτι μια ημερα παρα Κυριω ως χιλια ετη και χιλια ετη ως ημερα μια

But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

3:9

ου βραδυνει Κυριος της επαγγελιας ως τινες βραδυτητα ηγουνται αλλα μακροθυμει εις υμας μη βουλομενος τινας απολεσθαι αλλα παντας εις μετανοιαν χωρησαι

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
