2 Peter 2:22-3:4

English Standard Version

²² What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The ^(A)dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

The Day of the Lord Will Come

3 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them ^(B)I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, ^2 (C)that you should remember the predictions of ^(D)the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, ³ knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come ^(E)in the last days with scoffing, ^(F)following their own sinful desires. ^4 (G)They will say, “Where is the promise of ^(H)his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”
