彼得后书 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
必有人不信主再來的應許
3 親愛的,我現在寫給你們的是第二封信。在這兩封信中,我都用提醒的話來激發你們真誠的心, 2 叫你們記起聖先知說過的話,和主救主藉著使徒傳給你們的誡命。 3 最重要的,你們應當知道:在末後的日子,必定有好譏笑的人出來,隨著自己的私慾譏笑說: 4 “他要降臨的應許在哪裡呢?因為自從列祖睡了以來,萬物依然存在,與起初創造的時候一樣。” 5 他們故意忘記這事:在太古的時候,因著 神的話,就有了天,和從水而出、藉水而成的地。 6 當時的世界,因被水淹沒而消滅了。 7 但現在的天地,還是因著同樣的話可以存留,直到不敬虔的人受審判和遭滅亡的日子,用火焚燒。
主必再來
8 親愛的,這一件事你們不可忘記:在主看來,一日如千年,千年如一日。 9 主決不耽延他的應許,像有些人以為他是耽延的一樣;其實他是寬容你們,不願有一人滅亡,卻願人人都悔改。 10 但主的日子必要像賊一樣來到。在那日,天必轟然一聲地消失,所有元素都因烈火而融化;地和地上所有的,都要被燒毀(“被燒毀”有不少古抄本作“被發現”)。 11 這一切既然都要這樣融化,你們應當怎樣為人,過著聖潔和敬虔的生活, 12 等候並催促 神的日子降臨呢?因為在那日,天要被火焚燒就融化了,所有元素都因烈火而融解! 13 但是我們按照他所應許的,等候新天新地,有公義在那裡居住。
要在主的恩典和知識上長進
14 所以,親愛的,你們既然等候這些事,就當殷勤努力,使你們沒有污點,沒有瑕疵,安然見主。 15 並且要以我們的主恆久忍耐為給人得救的機會,就如我們所親愛的弟兄保羅,按照所賜給他的智慧,寫給你們的一樣; 16 他在一切書信上,都講論這些事。在這些書信中,有些難明白的地方,那不學無術和不穩定的人加以曲解,好像曲解別的經書一樣,就自取滅亡。 17 所以,親愛的,你們既然預先知道了,就要謹慎,免得受惡人的錯謬引導,就從自己堅固的地步上墜落。 18 你們卻要在我們的主、救主耶穌基督的恩典和知識上長進。願榮耀歸給他,從現在直到永遠。阿們。

必有人不信主再来的应许
3 亲爱的,我现在写给你们的是第二封信。在这两封信中,我都用提醒的话来激发你们真诚的心, 2 叫你们记起圣先知说过的话,和主救主借着使徒传给你们的诫命。 3 最重要的,你们应当知道:在末后的日子,必定有好讥笑的人出来,随着自己的私欲讥笑说: 4 “他要降临的应许在哪里呢?因为自从列祖睡了以来,万物依然存在,与起初创造的时候一样。” 5 他们故意忘记这事:在太古的时候,因着 神的话,就有了天,和从水而出、藉水而成的地。 6 当时的世界,因被水淹没而消灭了。 7 但现在的天地,还是因着同样的话可以存留,直到不敬虔的人受审判和遭灭亡的日子,用火焚烧。
主必再来
8 亲爱的,这一件事你们不可忘记:在主看来,一日如千年,千年如一日。 9 主决不耽延他的应许,像有些人以为他是耽延的一样;其实他是宽容你们,不愿有一人灭亡,却愿人人都悔改。 10 但主的日子必要像贼一样来到。在那日,天必轰然一声地消失,所有元素都因烈火而融化;地和地上所有的,都要被烧毁(“被烧毁”有不少古抄本作“被发现”)。 11 这一切既然都要这样融化,你们应当怎样为人,过着圣洁和敬虔的生活, 12 等候并催促 神的日子降临呢?因为在那日,天要被火焚烧就融化了,所有元素都因烈火而融解! 13 但是我们按照他所应许的,等候新天新地,有公义在那里居住。
要在主的恩典和知识上长进
14 所以,亲爱的,你们既然等候这些事,就当殷勤努力,使你们没有污点,没有瑕疵,安然见主。 15 并且要以我们的主恒久忍耐为给人得救的机会,就如我们所亲爱的弟兄保罗,按照所赐给他的智慧,写给你们的一样; 16 他在一切书信上,都讲论这些事。在这些书信中,有些难明白的地方,那不学无术和不稳定的人加以曲解,好象曲解别的经书一样,就自取灭亡。 17 所以,亲爱的,你们既然预先知道了,就要谨慎,免得受恶人的错谬引导,就从自己坚固的地步上坠落。 18 你们却要在我们的主、救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上长进。愿荣耀归给他,从现在直到永远。阿们。

The Day of the Lord
3 Dear friends, this is now the second letter(A) I have written to you; in both letters, I want to stir up your sincere(B) understanding by way of reminder, 2 so that you recall the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles. 3 Above all, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days(C) scoffing and following their own evil desires, 4 saying, “Where is his ‘coming’ that he promised?(D) Ever since our ancestors fell asleep,(E) all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.” 5 They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God(F) the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.(G) 6 Through these the world of that time perished when it was flooded.(H) 7 By the same word,(I) the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, being kept for the day of judgment(J) and destruction of the ungodly.
8 Dear friends, don’t overlook this one fact: With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.(K) 9 The Lord does not delay his promise,(L) as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any(M) to perish(N) but all to come to repentance.(O)
10 But the day of the Lord(P) will come like a thief;[a](Q) on that day the heavens will pass away(R) with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved,(S) and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.[b][c] 11 Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness 12 as you wait for the day of God and hasten its coming.[d](T) Because of that day, the heavens will be dissolved with fire and the elements will melt with heat. 13 But based on his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth,(U) where righteousness dwells.(V)
Conclusion
14 Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found without spot or blemish in his sight, at peace.(W) 15 Also, regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our dear brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.(X) 16 He speaks about these things in all his letters. There are some things hard to understand in them. The untaught and unstable will twist them to their own destruction,(Y) as they also do with the rest of the Scriptures.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you know this in advance, be on your guard,(Z) so that you are not led away by the error of lawless people and fall from your own stable position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge(AA) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.[e](AB)
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)

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.
