ペテロの手紙Ⅱ 3:13 JCB

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 3:1-18

Antidote Against Despising the Day of the Lord. Exhortation. Doxology2 Peter 3 may be subdivided into three parts: (a) 2 Peter 3:1-7. ’This Second Epistle is a reminder of what prophets and apostles have said. Those who would understand it must first know that, though mockers will deny this, there will be an end of the present world by fire, as once it was overwhelmed by water. This will be a day of judgment and destruction for the ungodly. (b) 2 Peter 3:8-13. As for the delay, which induces... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Peter 3:13

(13) Nevertheless we, according to his promise.—“Nevertheless” is too strong, and the emphasis is on “new,” not on “we.” But new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness, we look for, according to His promise. (Comp. Revelation 21:1.) On the repetition of “look for,” three times in three verses, see above on 2 Peter 2:7. The promise of the new heavens and new earth is given in Isaiah 65:17; Isaiah 66:22. There are two words for “new” in Greek; one looks forward, “young” as... read more

2 Peter 3:4 The sense of security more frequently springs from habit than from conviction, and for this reason it often subsists after such a change in the condition as might have been expected to suggest alarm. The lapse of time during which a given event has not happened is, in the logic of habit, constantly alleged as a reason why the event should never happen, even when the lapse of time is precisely the added condition which makes the event imminent. George Eliot, Silas Marner (ch. v.).... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 3:10-13

Chapter 29 "WHAT MANNER OF PERSONS OUGHT YE TO BE?"2 Peter 3:10-13THE Apostle, ever earnest to put the brethren in mind of the things they had heard or read, never fails to follow his own precept. His thoughts perpetually go back to the words of Jesus, of which the passage before us is but one example out of many. "If the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched". {Luke 12:39} So spake Christ unto the disciples when urging them to be like unto... read more

III. THE FUTURE OF THE EARTH AND THE CONCLUSION CHAPTER 3 1. Mocking at the Lord’s coming (2 Peter 3:1-7 ) 2. The future of the earth (2 Peter 3:8-18 ) 3. Exhortation and conclusion (2 Peter 3:11-18 ) 2 Peter 3:1-7 The opening statement shows conclusively that Peter is the author and that this second Epistle was sent to the same believers to whom the first Epistle was addressed. The critics claim that this chapter marks a separate Epistle in itself and that it was combined by mistake... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 3:1-18

This chapter now shows that the government of God will bring everything to a proper conclusion: every evil principle will be judged unsparingly, and those also who embrace such evil; and out of this judgment will emerge precious resurrection state of eternal blessing. But both of Peter's epistles have the chief present object of stirring up the pure minds of believers by way of remembrance. He claims to give no new truth, but we greatly to be reminded of that which we have before heard. And... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 3:1-18

OCCASION OF THE WARNING We now consider the last division which treats of the occasion for this warning and exhortation, chapters 2-3. In brief, this occasion was in the incoming of false teachers in the church, 2 Peter 2:1 , whose success is predicted in 2 Peter 2:2 ; whose punishment is certain and dreadful, v. 3-9; and whose description follows in verses 10-22. We shall not enter upon this description in detail, and, indeed, it presents many difficulties of interpretation. The presence... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Peter 3:1-18

The Longsuffering of God 2Pe 3:9 We wanted some one to say this. It does seem that the Lord is very slow. It is like us to attach small meanings to things. Water cannot rise above its own level: how can the mind get above its own imagination? We needed, therefore, some one to come down as it were with the key to correct us, to take away the little word and put in its place the greater word, saying to us, You ought not to say Slow, you ought to say Longsuffering, patient, forbearing, kind;... read more

"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... read more
