⁸ For these things being in you, and 2532 being superabundant, 4121 [²not 3756 ³idle 692 ⁴nor 3761 ⁵unfruitful 175 ¹they stand] 2525 in 1519 the 3588 3588 [²of our Lord ³Jesus ⁴Christ 5547 ¹full knowledge]. 1922

⁹ But in whom [²are not 3361 ³at hand 3918 ¹these things ] 3778 is blind, 5185 losing sight, 3467 [²forgetfulness 3024 ¹having taken] 2983 of the 3588 cleansing 2512 3588 of his earlier sins. 266

¹⁰ Therefore 1352 rather, 3123 brethren, 80 hurry 4704 [⁶firm 949 ²your 1473 3588 ³calling 2821 ⁴and 2532 ⁵selection 1589 ¹to make]! 4160 for these things doing, 4160 in no way should you fail 4417 at some time or other. 4218

¹² Therefore 1352 I shall not 3756 neglect 272 [²you 1473 ³continually 104 ¹to remind] 5279 concerning 4012 these things , 3778 though 2539 knowing, 1492 and 2532 being fixed firmly 4741 in 1722 the 3588 [²at hand 3918 ¹truth]. 225

¹³ But 1161 justly 1342 I esteem it, 2233 for 1909 as long as 3745 I am in 1722 this 3778 3588 tent, 4638 to awaken 1326 you 1473 by 1722 recollection; 5280

¹⁴ knowing 1492 that 3754 [⁵quick 5031 ⁴is ¹the 3588 ²getting rid 595 3588 ³of my tent], as 2531 also 2532 3588 our 1473 Lord 2962 Jesus Christ 5547 manifested 1213 to me. 1473

¹⁵ But I will hurry also 2532 always 1539 for you to have after 3326 3588 my 1699 exodus, 1841 the 3588 [³of these things 3778 ²remembrance 3420 ¹making]. 4160

¹⁶ For 1063 not 3756 [²discerning 4679 ³fables 3454 ¹following after] 1811 did we make known 1107 to you 1473 the 3588 3588 [⁴of our Lord ⁵Jesus ⁶Christ 5547 ¹power 1411 ²and 2532 ³arrival], 3952 but 235 [²spectators 2030 ¹having been] 1096 3588 of that ones' 1565 magnificence. 3168

¹⁷ For having received from 3844 God 2316 the father 3962 honor 5092 and 2532 glory, 1391 [²voice 5456 ³having been brought 5342 ⁴to him 1473 ¹such a] 5107 by 5259 the 3588 majestic 3169 glory, saying , 1391 This 3778 is 3588 my 1473 son 5207 the 3588 beloved, 27 in 1519 whom 3739 I 1473 take pleasure in. 2106

¹⁸ And 2532 this 3778 3588 voice 5456 we 1473 heard 191 [²from 1537 ³heaven 3772 ¹brought], 5342 [²with 4862 ³him 1473 ¹being] on 1722 the 3588 [²mountain 3735 3588 ¹holy]. 39

¹⁹ And 2532 we have 2192 more firm 949 the 3588 prophetic 4397 word; 3056 which 3739 well 2573 you do 4160 heeding, 4337 as 5613 a lamp 3088 shining forth 5316 in 1722 a dismal 850 place, 5117 until 2193 which 3739 day 2250 should shine through, 1306 and 2532 the morning star 5459 should arise 393 in 1722 3588 your 1473 hearts. 2588

²⁰ This 3778 first 4412 knowing, 1097 that 3754 every 3956 prophecy 4394 of scripture 1124 [³by private 2398 ⁴explanation 1955 ¹does not 3756 ²take place]. 1096

²¹ For 1063 not 3756 by will 2307 of man 444 was [²borne 5342 ³at some time or other 4218 ¹prophecy], 4394 but 235 by 5259 [²spirit 4151 ¹holy] 39 being borne 5342 [⁵spoke 2980 ¹the 3588 ²holy 39 ⁴of God 2316 ³men]. 444

¹ But there existed also 2532 false prophets 5578 among 1722 the 3588 people; 2992 as 5613 also 2532 among 1722 you 1473 there will be false teachers, 5572 ones who 3748 shall introduce privately 3919 [²sects 139 ¹destructive], 684 and 2532 [²the 3588 ⁴buying 59 ⁵them 1473 ³master 1203 ¹denying], 720 bringing 1863 unto 1722 themselves 1473 quick 5031 destruction. 684

² And 2532 many 4183 shall follow after 1811 them 1473 in the 3588 destruction, 684 through 1223 whom 3739 the 3588 way 3598 of the 3588 truth 225 shall be blasphemed. 987

³ And 2532 by 1722 a desire for wealth, 4124 with shaped 4112 words, 3056 they shall make trade of you; for whom 3739 the 3588 judgment 2917 of old 1597 is not idle, and 2532 3588 their 1473 destruction 684 shall not 3756 slumber. 3573

⁴ For 1063 if 1487 3588 God 2316 [²of angels 32 ³sinning 264 ¹spared 5339 not], 3756 but 235 in chains 4577 of the infernal 2217 region 5020 delivered them up 3860 for 1519 [²judgment 2920 ¹being kept for]; 5083

⁵ and 2532 the ancient 744 world 2889 he spared not, but 235 [³ the eighth 3590 ²Noah ⁵of righteousness 1343 ⁴proclaimer 2782 ¹kept], 5442 [² the flood 2627 ⁴world 2889 ³to the impious 765 ¹having brought]; 1863

⁶ and 2532 the cities 4172 of Sodom and 2532 Gomorrah having reduced to ashes 5077 [²by a final event 2692 he condemned]; 2632 [²an example 5262 ³for the ones being about 3195 ⁴to be impious 764 ¹having set]; 5087

⁷ and 2532 [²righteous 1342 ³Lot ⁴being harassed 2669 ⁵by 5259 ⁶the 3588 3588 ⁷unlawful ones 113 ⁸in 1722 ⁹lewdness 766 ¹⁰of behavior, 391 ¹he rescued], 4506

⁸ (for by sight and 2532 hearing, 189 the 3588 righteous man 1342 dwelling 1460 among 1722 them, 1473 day 2250 by 1537 day 2250 [³soul 5590 ² his righteous 1342 ⁴ by their lawless 459 ⁵works 2041 ¹tormented];) 928

⁹ but the Lord knows [² the pious 2152 ³from 1537 ⁴tests 3986 ¹to rescue], 4506 and the unrighteous [²for 1519 ³a day 2250 ⁴of judgment 2920 ⁵being punished 2849 ¹to keep]; 5083

¹⁰ and 1161 especially 3122 the ones 3588 [²after 3694 ³ the flesh 4561 ⁴in 1722 ⁵a desire 1939 ⁶for defilement 3394 ¹going], 4198 and 2532 [²lordship 2963 ¹ones disdaining]; 2706 daring, 5113 self-willed, 829 [⁴glories 1391 ¹they do not 3756 ²tremble 5141 ³ in blaspheming]. 987

¹¹ Where 3699 angels 32 [²in strength 2479 ³and 2532 ⁵power 1411 ⁴greater 3173 ¹being], do not 3756 bring 5342 against 2596 them 1473 before 3844 the Lord 2962 a blasphemous 989 case. 2920

¹² But 1161 these, 3778 as 5613 [²illogical 249 ³living creatures 2226 ¹physical], 5446 engendered 1080 for 1519 conquest 259 and 2532 corruption 5356 in 1722 [²what 3739 ³they know not 50 ¹blaspheming], 987 in 1722 their corruption shall be laid waste; 2704

¹³ carrying 2865 a wage 3408 of unrighteousness; 93 [⁵satisfaction 2237 ¹esteeming 2233 ²the 3588 ³daily ⁴delicacy]. 5172 Stains 4695 and 2532 blemishes, 3470 reveling 1792 in 1722 3588 their 1473 deceptions, 539 feasting together 4910 with you; 1473

¹⁴ [²eyes 3788 ¹having] 2192 full 3324 of an adulterous one, 3428 and 2532 ceaseless 180 of sin; 266 entrapping 1185 [²souls 5590 ¹unstable]; 793 [²a heart 2588 ³being exercised 1128 ⁴for a desire for wealth 4124 ¹having]; 2192 [²of curse 2671 ¹children]. 5043

¹⁵ Leaving behind 2641 the 3588 straight 2117 way, 3598 they wandered, 4105 following after 1811 the 3588 way 3598 3588 of Balaam the son of 3588 Bosor, who 3739 [² the wage 3408 ³of unrighteousness 93 ¹loved]; 25

¹⁶ [³rebuke 1649 ¹but 1161 ²had] 2192 of his own 2398 unlawfulness -- 3892 [²beast 5268 ¹a voiceless], 880 in 1722 a man's 444 voice 5456 uttering a sound, 5350 restrained 2967 the 3588 [²of the 3588 ³prophet 4396 ¹ranting]. 3913

¹⁷ These 3778 are [²springs 4077 ¹waterless], 504 clouds 3507 [²by 5259 ³a tempest 2978 ¹being driven], 1643 ones to whom 3739 the 3588 infernal region 2217 3588 of darkness 4655 [²into 1519 ³ the eon 165 ¹is kept]. 5083

¹⁸ For 1063 [²pompous 5246 ⁴of folly 3153 ¹uttering ³sounds], 5350 they entrap 1185 by 1722 the desires 1939 of the flesh, 4561 in lewdnesses, 766 the ones who 3588 really 3689 escaped 668 from the ones 3588 [²in 1722 ³delusion 4106 ¹behaving], 390

¹⁹ [²freedom 1657 ³to them 1473 ¹promising], 1861 they 1473 [²bondmen 1401 ¹being] 5224 3588 of corruption; 5356 for by whom anyone 5100 has been vanquished, 2274 by this one 3778 even 2532 he is enslaved. 1402

²⁰ For 1063 if 1487 they having escaped 668 the 3588 defilements 3393 of the 3588 world, 2889 in 1722 the full knowledge 1922 of the 3588 Lord 2962 and 2532 deliverer 4990 Jesus Christ, 5547 and in these things again 3825 being entangled 1707 they are vanquished, 2274 [³has become 1096 ⁴to them 1473 ¹the 3588 ²last] 2078 worse than 5501 the 3588 first. 4413

²¹ [³better 2908 ¹For 1063 ²it was] for them 1473 to have not known 3361 the 3588 way 3598 3588 of righteousness, 1343 than 2228 having known, 1921 to have turned 1994 from 1537 the 3588 [³delivered 3860 ⁴to them 1473 ¹holy 39 ²commandment]. 1785

²² But has come to pass to them 1473 the word 3588 of the 3588 true 227 proverb, 3942 A dog 2965 having returned 1994 unto 1909 its 2398 own 3588 excrement, 1829 and 2532 [²pig 5300 ¹a bathed] 3068 unto 1519 wallowing in 2946 mire. 1004

¹ This 3778 already, 2235 beloved, 27 a second 1208 [³to you 1473 ²I write 1125 ¹letter], 1992 in 1722 which 3739 I awaken 1326 your 1473 [³in 1722 ⁴recollection 5280 3588 ¹honest 1506 ²consideration], 1271

² to remember 3403 the 3588 before described 4280 sayings 4487 by 5259 the 3588 holy 39 prophets, 4396 and 2532 of the 3588 [⁷the 3588 ⁸apostles 652 ⁶of us 1473 ¹commandment 1785 ²of the 3588 ³Lord 2962 ⁴and 2532 ⁵deliverer]. 4990

³ This 3778 first 4412 knowing, 1097 that 3754 [²will come 2064 ³at 1909 ⁴ the last 2078 ⁵of the 3588 ⁶days 2250 ¹mockers], 1703 [²according to 2596 3588 ³their 1473 own 2398 ⁴lusts 1939 ¹going], 4198

⁴ and 2532 saying, 3004 Where 4226 is the 3588 promise 1860 3588 of his arrival? [²from 575 ³of which time 3739 ¹For] 1063 the 3588 fathers 3962 went to sleep, 2837 all things 3956 thus 3779 continue 1265 from 575 the beginning 746 of creation. 2937

⁵ [³escaped ⁵notice 2990 ¹For 1063 ⁴their 1473 ²this] 3778 willingly, 2309 that 3754 heavens 3772 were of old, 1597 and 2532 an earth 1093 from out of 1537 water 5204 and 2532 through 1223 water 5204 stood together 4921 by the 3588 3588 word of God;

⁶ through 1223 of which things 3739 the 3588 [²then 5119 ¹world 2889 ⁵by water 5204 ⁴having been flooded 2626 ³perished]. 622

⁷ But 1161 the 3588 present 3568 heavens 3772 and 2532 the 3588 earth, 1093 the one 3588 of his 1473 word, 3056 are treasured up for fire 4442 being kept 5083 for 1519 a day 2250 of judgment 2920 and 2532 destruction 684 3588 of impious 765 men. 444

⁸ But this one thing let it not 3361 be unaware 2990 to you, 1473 beloved, 27 that 3754 one 1520 day 2250 with 3844 the Lord 2962 is as 5613 a thousand 5507 years, 2094 and 2532 a thousand 5507 years 2094 as 5613 [²day 2250 ¹one]. 1520

⁹ [³ is not 3756 ⁴slow 1019 ¹The 3588 ²Lord] 2962 3588 of promise, 1860 as 5613 some 5100 [²slowness 1022 ¹esteem], 2233 but 235 is long-suffering 3114 towards 1519 us, 1473 not 3361 willing 1014 for anyone 5100 to perish, 622 but 235 for all 3956 [²for 1519 ³repentance 3341 ¹to have space]. 5562

¹⁰ But shall come the 3588 day 2250 of the Lord 2962 as 5613 a thief 2812 in 1722 the night, 3571 in 1722 which 3588 the 3588 heavens 3772 by a loud noise 4500 shall pass away, 3928 and the elements being destroyed by fire 2741 shall be loosed; 3089 and 2532 the earth 1093 and 2532 the 3588 [²in 1722 ³it 1473 ¹works] 2041 shall be incinerated. 2618

¹¹ These things 3778 then 3767 all 3956 being loosed, 3089 what kind of persons 4217 must 1163 you 1473 be 5224 in 1722 holy 39 behavior 391 and 2532 piety, 2150

¹² expecting 4328 and 2532 hastening 4692 the 3588 arrival 3952 of the 3588 3588 day of God, by 1223 which 3739 the heavens 3772 being set on fire 4448 shall be loosed, 3089 and 2532 the elements 4747 being destroyed by fire 2741 shall melt away? 5080

¹³ But 1161 new 2537 heavens 3772 and 2532 [²earth 1093 ¹a new], 2537 according to 2596 3588 his 1473 declaration, 1862 we expect, 4328 in 1722 which 3739 righteousness 1343 dwells. 2730

¹⁴ Therefore, 1352 beloved, 27 these things 3778 expecting, 4328 endeavor 4704 [³spotless 784 ⁴and 2532 ⁵without blemish 298 ²by him 1473 ¹to be found] 2147 in 1722 peace! 1515

¹⁵ And 2532 [²the 3588 3588 ⁵of our Lord ³long-suffering 3115 ⁴deliverance 4991 ¹esteem]; 2233 as 2531 also 2532 3588 our 1473 beloved 27 brother 80 Paul, according to 2596 the 3588 [³to him 1473 ²given 1325 ¹wisdom], 4678 wrote 1125 to you, 1473

¹⁶ as 5613 also 2532 in 1722 all 3956 the 3588 letters, 1992 speaking 2980 in 1722 them 1473 concerning 4012 these things ; 3778 in 1722 which 3739 [²are ³hard to comprehend 1425 ¹some things ], 5100 which 3739 the 3588 illiterate 261 and 2532 unstable 793 make crooked, 4761 as 5613 also 2532 the 3588 rest 3062 of scriptures, 1124 to 4314 3588 their 1473 own 2398 destruction. 684

¹⁷ You 1473 then, 3767 beloved, 27 foreknowing, 4267 guard 5442 that 2443 not 3361 by the 3588 [²of the 3588 ³unlawful ones 113 ¹delusion] 4106 having been led away, 4879 you should fall from 1601 your 2398 own 3588 steadfastness! 4740

¹⁸ But 1161 grow 837 in 1722 the favor 5484 and 2532 knowledge 1108 3588 of our Lord and 2532 deliverer 4990 Jesus Christ! 5547 To him 1473 be the 3588 glory 1391 both 2532 now 3568 and 2532 into 1519 the day 2250 of the eon. 165 Amen. 281
