Purpose of This Letter
The Coming Day of the Lord
1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。
1Beloved, this is now the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of a reminder, 2to remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles. 3Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6through which the world at that time was destroyed by being flooded with water. 7But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
A New Heaven and Earth
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。
8But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be discovered.
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。
11Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
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。阿们!
14Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and blameless by Him, at peace, 15and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which there are some things that are hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unscrupulous people and lose your own firm commitment, 18but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
