2 Peter 3

  • 3:1 This second letter, beloved, I now write to you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
  • 3:2 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:
  • 3:3 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 to 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 long-suffering 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 you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
  • 3:12 Looking for and hastening to 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 dwells righteousness.
  • 3:14 Why, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
  • 3:15 And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given to him has written to you;
  • 3:16 As also in all his letters, 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, to their own destruction.
  • 3:17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
  • 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

  • 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
  • 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
  • 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.
  • 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;
  • 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;
  • 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample to those that after should live ungodly;
  • 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
  • 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
  • 2:9 The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished:
  • 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
  • 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
  • 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
  • 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
  • 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
  • 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
  • 2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbade the madness of the prophet.
  • 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
  • 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
  • 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
  • 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
  • 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
  • 2:22 But it is happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

  • 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:
  • 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
  • 1:3 According as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue:
  • 1:4 Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
  • 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
  • 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
  • 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
  • 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • 1:9 But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
  • 1:10 Why the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:
  • 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
  • 1:12 Why I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth.
  • 1:13 Yes, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
  • 1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
  • 1:15 Moreover I will endeavor that you may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
  • 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
  • 1:17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
  • 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
  • 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
  • 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
  • 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

  • 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
  • 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
  • 5:3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
  • 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.
  • 5:5 Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
  • 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
  • 5:7 Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you.
  • 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
  • 5:9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.
  • 5:10 But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
  • 5:11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
  • 5:12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein you stand.
  • 5:13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son.
  • 5:14 Greet you one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

  • 4:1 For as much then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
  • 4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
  • 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, parties, and abominable idolatries:
  • 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
  • 4:5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
  • 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
  • 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be you therefore sober, and watch to prayer.
  • 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
  • 4:9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
  • 4:10 As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
  • 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
  • 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:
  • 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
  • 4:14 If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests on you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
  • 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
  • 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
  • 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
  • 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
  • 4:19 Why let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.

  • 3:1 Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
  • 3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
  • 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
  • 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
  • 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
  • 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, as long as you do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
  • 3:7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
  • 3:8 Finally, be you all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brothers, be pitiful, be courteous:
  • 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing.
  • 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
  • 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
  • 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
  • 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
  • 3:14 But and if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
  • 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
  • 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
  • 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
  • 3:18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
  • 3:19 By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison;
  • 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
  • 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism does also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
  • 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

  • 2:1 Why laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
  • 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
  • 2:3 If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
  • 2:4 To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
  • 2:5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
  • 2:6 Why also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
  • 2:7 To you therefore which believe he is precious: but to them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
  • 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
  • 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
  • 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
  • 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
  • 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
  • 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
  • 2:14 Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
  • 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
  • 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
  • 2:17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
  • 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the fraudulent.
  • 2:19 For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
  • 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
  • 2:21 For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
  • 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
  • 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:
  • 2:24 Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
  • 2:25 For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

  • 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
  • 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
  • 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
  • 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you,
  • 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
  • 1:6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
  • 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
  • 1:8 Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
  • 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
  • 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you:
  • 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
  • 1:12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they did minister the things, which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
  • 1:13 Why gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
  • 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
  • 1:15 But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation;
  • 1:16 Because it is written, Be you holy; for I am holy.
  • 1:17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
  • 1:18 For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
  • 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
  • 1:20 Who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
  • 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
  • 1:22 Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently:
  • 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and stays for ever.
  • 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass wither, and the flower thereof falls away:
  • 1:25 But the word of the Lord endures for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached to you.

  • 5:1 Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.
  • 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
  • 5:3 Your gold and silver is corroded; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days.
  • 5:4 Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
  • 5:5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
  • 5:6 You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
  • 5:7 Be patient therefore, brothers, to the coming of the Lord.  Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
  • 5:8 Be you also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.
  • 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brothers, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.
  • 5:10 Take, my brothers, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
  • 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
  • 5:12 But above all things, my brothers, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yes be yes; and your no, no; lest you fall into condemnation.
  • 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
  • 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
  • 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
  • 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
  • 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
  • 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
  • 5:19 Brothers, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

  • 4:1 From where come wars and fights among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
  • 4:2 You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war, yet you have not, because you ask not.
  • 4:3 You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it on your lusts.
  • 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
  • 4:5 Do you think that the scripture said in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lusts to envy?
  • 4:6 But he gives more grace. Why he said, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
  • 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
  • 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded.
  • 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
  • 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
  • 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brothers. He that speaks evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
  • 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who are you that judge another?
  • 4:13 Go to now, you that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
  • 4:14 Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
  • 4:15 For that you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
  • 4:16 But now you rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
  • 4:17 Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
