2 Pet. 3:4 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
2 Pet. 3:3      2 Pet. 3:5

Second letter of Peter 3:4

and say,
"Where is the promise of his coming (arrival – Gk. parousia)?
Since the fathers [Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc.] died
everything has continued just as it has been since the beginning of creation." [The expression "the last days" is used in the New Testament for the entire period from Jesus' death and resurrection until his return, see Peter's speech in Acts 2:16–39 and Hebrews 1:2. Already in the letters to Thessalonica, belief in Jesus' imminent return could cause questions and doubts. When this letter was written, Peter was old and about to die. Jesus had not yet returned. The false teachers discussed in the previous chapter are probably these mocking people who question the truth of the Bible.]
