This now, beloved, [is the] second to you I am writing letter, in which I am stirring up of you in putting [you] in remembrance pure mind,

remembering the spoken beforehand declarations — by the holy prophets and of the apostles of you commandment of the Lord and Savior,

this first knowing, that will come in [these] last of the days with scoffing scoffers, according to [their] own evil desires of them following

and saying, Where is the promise of the coming of Him? From [the time] that for the fathers fell asleep, all things as they were continue from [the] beginning of creation.

It is concealed from indeed them this willingly, that heavens were existing long ago, and [the] earth out of water and by water having been composed by the of God word,

by [means of] those [waters] the at that time world, with water having been deluged, perished.

[This] one however thing not should be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] like a thousand years, and a thousand years like day one.

Not does delay Lord the promise, as some slowness esteem, but is patient toward you, not willing [for] any to perish, but all to repentance to come.

Will come however day of [the] Lord like a thief, in which the heavens with a roar will pass away, elements then burning with heat will be dissolved, and [the] earth and the in it works will be exposed.

When these things in this way all being dissolved, what kind ought to be you? In holy conduct and in godliness,

expecting and hastening the coming of the of God day, by reason of which [the] heavens being set on fire will be dissolved, and [the] elements burning with heat are melting.

New however heavens, and earth a new, according to the promise of Him, we are awaiting, in which righteousness dwells.

Therefore, beloved, these things expecting, do be diligent without spot and without blemish by Him to be found, in peace.

And the of the Lord of us patience [as] salvation do esteem, just as also the beloved of us brother Paul, according to the having been given to him wisdom, wrote to you,

as also in all letters, speaking in them concerning these things, among which [letters] are difficult to be understood some things, which the ignorant and unestablished distort, as also the other Scriptures, to the own of them destruction.

you therefore, beloved, knowing [this] beforehand, do beware, that not by the of the lawless error having been led away, you may fall from the [your] own steadfastness.

do grow however in grace, and in knowledge of the Lord of us and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him [be] the glory both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen
