The Day of the Lord Will Come
3 This is now, (A)beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am (B)stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should (C)remember the words spoken beforehand by (D)the holy prophets and (E)the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles, 3 (F)knowing this first of all, that (G)in the last days (H)mockers will come with their mocking, (I)following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “(J)Where is the promise of His (K)coming? For since the fathers (L)fell asleep, all continues just as it was (M)from the beginning of creation.” 5 For [a]when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that (N)by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was (O)formed out of water and by water, 6 through which (P)the world at that time was (Q)destroyed, being deluged with water. 7 But by His word (R)the present heavens and earth are being reserved for (S)fire, being kept for (T)the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, (U)beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and (V)a thousand years like one day. 9 (W)The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some consider slowness, but (X)is patient toward you, (Y)not willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 10 But (Z)the day of the Lord (AA)will come like a thief, in which (AB)the heavens (AC)will pass away with a roar and the (AD)elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and (AE)the earth and [b]its works will be [c]found out.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 (AF)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which (AG)the heavens burning will be destroyed, and the (AH)elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His (AI)promise we are looking for (AJ)new heavens and a new earth, (AK)in which righteousness dwells.
Be on Your Guard
14 (AL)Therefore, (AM)beloved, since you are looking for these things, be diligent to be (AN)found by Him in peace, (AO)spotless and blameless, 15 and consider the (AP)patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also (AQ)our beloved brother Paul, (AR)according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of (AS)these things, (AT)in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and (AU)unstable distort, as they do also (AV)the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 You therefore, (AW)beloved, knowing this beforehand, (AX)be on your guard lest you, having been carried away by (AY)the error of (AZ)unprincipled men, (BA)fall from your own steadfastness, 18 but grow in the grace and (BB)knowledge of our (BC)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (BD)To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

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)

O dia do Senhor se aproxima
3 Amados, esta é minha segunda carta a vocês, e em ambas procurei refrescar sua memória e incentivá-los a pensar com clareza. 2 Quero que se lembrem do que disseram os santos profetas muito tempo atrás e do que ordenou nosso Senhor e Salvador por meio dos apóstolos que lhes enviou.
3 Acima de tudo, quero alertá-los de que nos últimos dias surgirão escarnecedores que zombarão da verdade e seguirão os próprios desejos, 4 dizendo: “O que houve com a promessa de que ele voltaria? Desde antes do tempo de nossos antepassados, tudo permanece igual, como desde a criação do mundo”.
5 Eles esquecem deliberadamente que Deus, por sua palavra, há muito tempo criou os céus e a terra seca, que fez surgir em meio às águas. 6 Depois, com água destruiu todo o mundo antigo, no dilúvio. 7 Pela mesma palavra, os céus e a terra que agora existem foram reservados para o fogo e estão guardados para o dia do julgamento, quando todos os perversos serão destruídos.
8 Logo, amados, não se esqueçam disto: para o Senhor, um dia é como mil anos, e mil anos como um dia. 9 Na verdade, o Senhor não demora em cumprir sua promessa, como pensam alguns. Pelo contrário, ele é paciente por causa de vocês. Não deseja que ninguém seja destruído, mas que todos se arrependam. 10 Contudo, o dia do Senhor virá como um ladrão. Os céus desaparecerão com terrível estrondo, e até os elementos serão consumidos pelo fogo, e a terra e tudo que nela há serão expostos.[a]
11 Visto, portanto, que tudo ao redor será destruído, a vida de vocês deve ser caracterizada por santidade e devoção, 12 esperando o dia de Deus e já antecipando sua vinda. Nesse dia, ele incendiará os céus, e os elementos se derreterão nas chamas. 13 Nós, porém, aguardamos com grande expectativa os novos céus e a nova terra que ele prometeu, um mundo pleno de justiça.
14 Portanto, amados, enquanto esperam que essas coisas aconteçam, esforcem-se para levar uma vida pacífica, pura e sem culpa aos olhos de Deus.
15 E lembrem-se de que a paciência de nosso Senhor permite que as pessoas sejam salvas. Foi isso que nosso amado irmão Paulo lhes escreveu, com a sabedoria que lhe foi concedida. 16 Ele trata dessas questões em todas as suas cartas. Alguns de seus comentários são difíceis de entender, e os ignorantes e instáveis distorceram suas cartas, como fazem com outras partes das Escrituras. Como resultado, eles próprios serão destruídos.
Palavras finais de Pedro
17 Amados, vocês já sabem dessas coisas. Portanto, estejam atentos, a fim de que não sejam levados pelos erros desses perversos e percam sua firmeza. 18 Antes, cresçam na graça e no conhecimento de nosso Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo.
A ele seja a glória, agora e para sempre! Amém.
