Chapter 3.

00:02.400 --> 00:08.240
This second epistle, beloved, I now write
unto you, in both which I stir up your

00:08.240 --> 00:13.460
pure minds by way of remembrance,
that ye may be mindful of the words which

00:13.460 --> 00:17.420
were spoken before by the holy prophets
and of the commandment of us the apostles

00:17.420 --> 00:23.300
of the Lord and Saviour, knowing this
first, that there shall come in the last

00:23.300 --> 00:30.300
days scoffers walking after their own
lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of

00:30.300 --> 00:30.860
His coming?

00:31.480 --> 00:36.320
For since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were from the

00:36.320 --> 00:37.480
beginning of the creation.

00:38.500 --> 00:43.800
For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God the heavens were

00:43.800 --> 00:49.780
of old, and the earth standing out of the
water and in the water, whereby the world

00:49.780 --> 00:54.140
that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished.

00:54.820 --> 00:58.920
But the heavens and the earth,
which are now by the same word are kept in

00:58.920 --> 01:04.260
store, reserved unto fire against the day
of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

01:05.320 --> 01:11.600
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a

01:11.600 --> 01:15.400
thousand years, and a thousand years as
one day.

01:16.420 --> 01:21.000
The Lord is not slack concerning His
promise, as some men count slackness,

01:21.000 --> 01:26.080
but is longsuffering to usward,
not willing that any should perish,

01:26.640 --> 01:28.360
but that all should come to repentance.

01:29.880 --> 01:34.680
But the day of the Lord will come as a
thief in the night, in the which the

01:34.680 --> 01:40.780
heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with

01:40.780 --> 01:46.400
fervent heat, the earth also, and the
works that are therein shall be burned up.

01:47.700 --> 01:52.340
Seeing then that all these things shall be
dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye

01:52.340 --> 01:57.800
to be in all holy conversation and
godliness, looking for and hasting unto

01:57.800 --> 02:02.300
the coming of the day of God, wherein the
heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,

02:02.800 --> 02:05.120
and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat?

02:06.460 --> 02:11.260
Nevertheless we, according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth,

02:11.780 --> 02:12.920
wherein dwelleth righteousness.

02:13.960 --> 02:19.760
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look
for such things, be diligent that ye may

02:19.760 --> 02:26.820
be found of him in peace, without spot and
blameless, and account that the

02:26.820 --> 02:31.700
longsuffering of our Lord is salvation,
even as our beloved brother Paul,

02:32.100 --> 02:36.780
also according to the wisdom given unto
him, hath written unto you, as also in all

02:36.780 --> 02:42.180
his epistles, speaking in them of these
things, in which are some things hard to

02:42.180 --> 02:47.480
be understood, which they that are
unlearned and unstable rest, as they do

02:47.480 --> 02:50.260
also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction.

02:51.460 --> 02:58.940
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know
these things before, beware, lest ye also,

02:59.600 --> 03:04.480
being led away with the error of the
wicked, fall from your own steadfastness,

03:04.960 --> 03:10.440
but grow in grace, and in the knowledge of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

03:11.260 --> 03:14.300
To him be glory both now and forever.

03:14.300 --> 03:15.620
Amen.
