彼得后书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
主再来的应许
3 亲爱的弟兄姊妹,我现在写给你们的是第二封信。这两封信都是为了提醒你们,激励你们保持真诚的心, 2 叫你们记得从前圣先知们说的预言,以及我们的主和救主借着派到你们那里的使徒所传给你们的诫命。
3 最重要的是,你们要知道在末世的时候必出现喜欢冷嘲热讽、为所欲为的人。他们说: 4 “主要降临的应许在哪里?从我们的祖先长眠地下直到现在,万物依旧与创世之初一样。” 5 他们故意忽略:太初,上帝凭口中的话语创造了诸天,并借着水从水中造出了地; 6 后来,那个世界被水淹没而毁灭了。 7 同样,现在的天地要凭上帝的话语存留到不敬虔的人被审判和毁灭的日子,那时天地要被火焚烧。
8 亲爱的弟兄姊妹,有一件事你们不可忽略,就是主看一日如千年,千年如一日。 9 主的应许还未实现,有人以为祂拖延,其实祂不是拖延,而是在宽容你们。祂不愿任何人灭亡,愿意人人悔改。 10 不过,主再来的日子要像贼一样突然临到。那日,诸天必在一声巨响中消失,有形有质的都要被烈火焚毁,大地和其中的一切将不复存在。
11-12 一切都要这样被焚毁,你们在热切等候上帝来临的日子期间,该怎样过圣洁、敬虔的生活啊!因为到那日,天要被火焚毁,有形有质的都要被烈火熔化烧尽。 13 但我们等候的是上帝应许的新天新地,有公义住在其中。
14 所以,亲爱的弟兄姊妹,你们既然盼望这些事,就当努力使自己在主面前毫无瑕疵,无可指责,安然无惧。 15 你们要把耶稣的宽容看作是让众人得救的机会,正如我们亲爱的弟兄保罗按着上帝赐给他的智慧写信告诉你们的。 16 他所有的书信都谈到这些事。一些不学无术、反复无常的人曲解了信中一些难懂的地方,就像曲解其他经文一样,他们是自取灭亡。
17 因此,亲爱的弟兄姊妹,你们既然预先知道了这些事,就应该提防,不要让那些不法之徒用错谬的理论引诱你们,使你们失去原本坚固的立场。 18 相反,你们要在我们的主和救主耶稣基督的恩典中不断长进,越来越认识祂。
愿荣耀归给祂,从现在直到永远。阿们!

2 Peter 3
New International Version
The Day of the Lord
3 Dear friends,(A) this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders(B) to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets(C) and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.(D)
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days(E) scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.(F) 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?(G) Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”(H) 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word(I) the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.(J) 6 By these waters also the world of that time(K) was deluged and destroyed.(L) 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,(M) being kept for the day of judgment(N) and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.(O) 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,(P) as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient(Q) with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.(R)
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.(S) The heavens will disappear with a roar;(T) the elements will be destroyed by fire,(U) and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a](V)
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward(W) to the day of God and speed its coming.[b](X) That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.(Y) 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,(Z) where righteousness dwells.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless(AA) and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience(AB) means salvation,(AC) just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.(AD) 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable(AE) people distort,(AF) as they do the other Scriptures,(AG) to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard(AH) so that you may not be carried away by the error(AI) of the lawless(AJ) and fall from your secure position.(AK) 18 But grow in the grace(AL) and knowledge(AM) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(AN) To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.(AO)
