2 Peter 3 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Purpose of This Letter

(Gen 6:5—8:22 )

2Pe 3:1This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;

2Pe 3:2

2Pe 3:2that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the mitzvot of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior:

The Coming Day of the Lord

2Pe 3:3

2Pe 3:3knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts,

2Pe 3:4

2Pe 3:4and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

2Pe 3:5

2Pe 3:5For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an eretz formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;

2Pe 3:6

2Pe 3:6by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.

2Pe 3:7

2Pe 3:7But the heavens that now are, and the eretz, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

2Pe 3:8

2Pe 3:8But don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

2Pe 3:9

2Pe 3:9The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

A New Heaven and Earth

2Pe 3:10

2Pe 3:10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the eretz and the works that are in it will be burned up.

2Pe 3:11

2Pe 3:11Therefore since all these things are thus to be destroyed, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

2Pe 3:12

2Pe 3:12looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

2Pe 3:13

2Pe 3:13But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new eretz, in which dwells righteousness.

2Pe 3:14

2Pe 3:14Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in shalom, without blemish and blameless in his sight.

2Pe 3:15

2Pe 3:15Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Sha'ul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;

2Pe 3:16

2Pe 3:16as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

2Pe 3:17

2Pe 3:17You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.

2Pe 3:18

2Pe 3:18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua the Messiah. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amein.
