| 3:2 | the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy prophetes, and also the commaundementes of vs the apostles of the Lorde and sauiour. |
| 3:3 | This fyrst vnderstande, that there shall come in the laste dayes mockers, which wyll walke after their own lustes |
| 3:4 | and say. Where is the promes of hys comminge? For sence the fathers dyed, al thinges continue in the same estate, wherin they were at the beginninge. |
| 3:5 | This they knowe not (and that willinglie) howe that the heauens a greate whyle ago were, & the earth that was in the water, appered vp out of the water by the worde of God, |
| 3:6 | by the which thinges, the worlde that then was, perished ouer flowen with the water. |
| 3:7 | But the heauens verely and earth, which are now are kept by the same worde in store, and reserued vnto fyre, agaynste the daye of iudgemente, and perdycyon of vngodlye men. |
| 3:8 | Dearly beloued, be not ignoraunt of thys one thinge, howe that one daye is wyth the Lorde, as a thousande yeare, and a thousande yeare as one daye. |
| 3:9 | The Lord is not slacke to fulfyl hys promyse, as some men count slaknes, but is patient to vsward and would haue no man loste, but would receyue al men to repentaunce. |
| 3:10 | Neuertheles the daye of the Lord wyl come as a thiefe in the nyght in the which daye, the heauens shal peryshe wyth terryble noyse, and the elementes shal melte wyth heate, and the earth wyth the workes that are therin shal burne. |
| 3:11 | If al these thinges shal perishe, what maner persons ought ye to be in holye conuersacyon and Godlynes: |
| 3:12 | lokynge for and hasting vnto the comminge of the daye of God, in which the heauens shall perishe with fyre, & the elementes shalbe consumed wyth heat. |
| 3:13 | Neuertheles we loke for a new heauen and a newe earth, accordinge to his promys, wherin dwelleth rygtuousnes. |

| 3:1 | This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes, |
| 3:2 | To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour. |
| 3:3 | This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes, |
| 3:4 | And say, Where is the promise of his comming? for since the fathers died, all things continue alike from the beginning of the creation. |
| 3:5 | For this they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the water, by the word of God. |
| 3:6 | Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water. |
| 3:7 | But the heauens and earth, which are nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued vnto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of vngodly men. |
| 3:8 | Dearely beloued, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, as a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres as one day. |
| 3:9 | The Lord of that promise is not slacke (as some men count slackenesse) but is pacient toward vs, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance. |
| 3:10 | But the day of the Lord will come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a noyse, and the elements shall melt with heate, and the earth with the workes that are therein, shalbe burnt vp. |
| 3:11 | Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse, |
| 3:12 | Looking for, and hasting vnto the comming of that day of God, by the which the heauens being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements shall melt with heate? |
| 3:13 | But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse. |
| 3:14 | Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blamelesse. |
| 3:15 | And suppose that the long suffering of our Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto him wrote to you, |
| 3:16 | As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of these thinges: among the which some thinges are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other Scriptures vnto their owne destruction. |
| 3:17 | Ye therefore beloued, seeing ye know these thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse. |
| 3:18 | But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be glory both now and for euermore. Amen. |
| 3:1 | This second Epistle (beloued) I now write vnto you, in both which I stir vp your pure mindes by way of remembrance: |
| 3:2 | That yee may be mindfull of the wordes which were spoken before by the holy Prophets, and of the Commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour: |
| 3:3 | Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their owne lusts, |
| 3:4 | And saying, Where is the promise of his comming? For since the fathers fell asleepe, all things continue as they were fro the beginning of the creation. |
| 3:5 | For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heauens were of olde, and the earth standing out of the water, and in the water, |
| 3:6 | Whereby the world that then was, being ouerflowed with water, perished. |
| 3:7 | But the heauens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserued vnto fire against the day of Iudgement, and perdition of vngodly men. |
| 3:8 | But (beloued) bee not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand yeeres, and a thousand yeeres as one day. |
| 3:9 | The Lord is not slacke cocerning his promise (as some men count slacknesse) but is long-suffring to vs-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. |
| 3:10 | But the day of the Lord wil come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a great noise, and the Elements shall melt with feruent heate, the earth also and the works that are therin shalbe burnt vp. |
| 3:11 | Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolued, What maner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conuersation, and godlinesse, |
| 3:12 | Looking for and hasting vnto the comming of the day of God, wherein the heauens being on fire shalbe dissolued, and the Elements shall melt with feruent heat. |
| 3:13 | Neuerthelesse wee, according to his promise, looke for new heauens, and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse. |
| 3:14 | Wherefore (beloued) seeing that ye looke for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blamelesse. |
| 3:15 | And account that the long suffering of the Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul also, according to the wisedome giuen vnto him, hath written vnto you. |
| 3:16 | As also in all his Epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be vnderstood, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable wrest, as they doe also the other Scriptures, vnto their owne destruction. |
| 3:17 | Ye therefore, beloued, seeing yee know these things before, beware lest yee also being led away with the errour of the wicked, fall from your owne stedfastnesse. |
| 3:18 | But growe in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be glory both now and for euer. Amen. |
