彼得后书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
好讥诮的并他们的结局
3 亲爱的弟兄啊,我现在写给你们的是第二封信。这两封都是提醒你们,激发你们诚实的心, 2 叫你们记念圣先知预先所说的话和主救主的命令,就是使徒所传给你们的。 3 第一要紧的,该知道在末世必有好讥诮的人随从自己的私欲出来讥诮说: 4 “主要降临的应许在哪里呢?因为从列祖睡了以来,万物与起初创造的时候仍是一样。” 5 他们故意忘记:从太古凭神的命有了天,并从水而出、借水而成的地; 6 故此,当时的世界被水淹没就消灭了。 7 但现在的天地还是凭着那命存留,直留到不敬虔之人受审判遭沉沦的日子,用火焚烧。
主的日子要像贼来到
8 亲爱的弟兄啊,有一件事你们不可忘记,就是主看一日如千年,千年如一日。 9 主所应许的尚未成就,有人以为他是耽延,其实不是耽延,乃是宽容你们,不愿有一人沉沦,乃愿人人都悔改。 10 但主的日子要像贼来到一样。那日,天必大有响声废去,有形质的都要被烈火销化,地和其上的物都要烧尽了。 11 这一切既然都要如此销化,你们为人该当怎样圣洁,怎样敬虔, 12 切切仰望神的日子来到!在那日,天被火烧就销化了,有形质的都要被烈火熔化。 13 但我们照他的应许,盼望新天新地,有义居在其中。
要在主的恩典和知识上有长进
14 亲爱的弟兄啊,你们既盼望这些事,就当殷勤,使自己没有玷污,无可指摘,安然见主; 15 并且要以我主长久忍耐为得救的因由,就如我们所亲爱的兄弟保罗,照着所赐给他的智慧写了信给你们。 16 他一切的信上也都是讲论这事。信中有些难明白的,那无学问、不坚固的人强解,如强解别的经书一样,就自取沉沦。 17 亲爱的弟兄啊,你们既然预先知道这事,就当防备,恐怕被恶人的错谬诱惑,就从自己坚固的地步上坠落。 18 你们却要在我们主救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进。愿荣耀归给他,从今直到永远!阿门。
2 Peter 3
King James Version
3 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
2 Peter 3
New King James Version
God’s Promise Is Not Slack(A)
3 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which (B)I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words (C)which were spoken before by the holy prophets, (D)and of the commandment of [a]us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, (E)walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of (F)creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that (G)by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth (H)standing out of water and in the water, 6 (I)by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But (J)the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for (K)fire until the day of judgment and [b]perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and (L)a thousand years as one day. 9 (M)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but (N)is longsuffering toward [c]us, (O)not willing that any should perish but (P)that all should come to repentance.
The Day of the Lord
10 But (Q)the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which (R)the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be (S)in holy conduct and godliness, 12 (T)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will (U)be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will (V)melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for (W)new heavens and a (X)new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Be Steadfast
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent (Y)to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that (Z)the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his (AA)epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the (AB)rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, (AC)since you know this beforehand, (AD)beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 (AE)but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
(AF)To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

El día del Señor se acerca
3 Amados hermanos, ésta es la segunda carta que les escribo, y en ambas los he animado a tener presentes, con su mente pura, 2 las palabras que antes pronunciaron los santos profetas, así como el mandamiento que el Señor y Salvador nos ha dado por medio de los apóstoles. Recuérdenlo. 3 Pero antes deben saber que en los días finales vendrá gente blasfema, que andará según sus propios malos deseos(A) 4 y que dirá: «¿Qué pasó con la promesa de su venida? Desde el día en que nuestros padres murieron, todas las cosas siguen tal y como eran desde el principio de la creación.» 5 Pero con toda intención se olvidan de que, desde la antigüedad, fueron creados los cielos por la palabra de Dios, lo mismo que la tierra, la cual proviene del agua y subsiste por medio del agua.(B) 6 Por eso el mundo de entonces fue destruido por una inundación.(C) 7 Pero esa misma palabra ha reservado los cielos y la tierra que ahora existen; los ha guardado para el fuego en el día del juicio y de la destrucción de los hombres perversos. 8 Pero no olviden, amados hermanos, que para el Señor un día es como mil años, y mil años como un día.(D) 9 El Señor no se tarda para cumplir su promesa, como algunos piensan, sino que nos tiene paciencia y no quiere que ninguno se pierda, sino que todos se vuelvan a él. 10 Pero el día del Señor llegará como un ladrón en la noche.(E) Ese día los cielos desaparecerán en medio de un gran estruendo, y los elementos arderán y serán reducidos a cenizas, y la tierra y todo lo que en ella se ha hecho será quemado.
11 Puesto que todo será deshecho, ustedes deben vivir una vida santa y dedicada a Dios, 12 y esperar con ansias la venida del día de Dios. Ese día los cielos serán deshechos por el fuego, y los elementos se fundirán por el calor de las llamas. 13 Pero, según sus promesas, nosotros esperamos un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva, donde reinará la justicia.(F)
14 Por eso, amados hermanos, mientras esperan que esto suceda, hagan todo lo posible para que Dios los encuentre en paz, intachables e irreprensibles. 15 Tengan en cuenta que la paciencia de nuestro Señor es para salvación, tal y como nuestro amado hermano Pablo, según la sabiduría que le ha sido dada, les ha escrito 16 en casi todas sus cartas, donde habla de estas cosas, aun cuando entre ellas hay algunas que son difíciles de entender y que los ignorantes e inconstantes tuercen, como hacen también con las otras Escrituras, para su propia perdición. 17 Pero ustedes, amados hermanos, que ya saben todo esto, cuídense de no ser arrastrados por el error de esos malvados, para que no caigan de su firme postura. 18 Más bien, crezcan en la gracia y el conocimiento de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo, a quien sea dada la gloria ahora y hasta el día de la eternidad. Amén.
