For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ； they are again entangled therein； and overe； the latter end is worse with them than the beginning。
2：21他们晓得义路，竟背弃了传给他们的圣命，倒不如不晓得为妙。
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness； than； after they have known it； to turn from the holy mandment delivered unto them。
2：22俗语说得真不错，狗所吐的他转过来又吃。猪洗净了又回到泥里去辊。这话在他们身上正合式。
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb； The dog is turned to his own vomit again； and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire。
新约 彼得后书（2Peter） 第 3 章 （ 本篇共有 3 章 ） 7上一章 目录
3：1亲爱的兄弟阿，我现在写给你们的是第二封信。这两封都是题醒你们，激发你们诚实的心。
This second epistle； beloved； I now write unto you； in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance：
3：2叫你们记念圣先知豫先所说的话，和主救主的命令，就是使徒所传给你们的。
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets； and of the mandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour：
3：3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，
Knowing this first； that there shall e in the last days scoffers； walking after their own lusts；
3：4主要降临的应许在那里呢。因为从列祖睡了以来，万物与起初创造的时候仍是一样。
And saying； Where is the promise of his ing？ for since the fathers fell asleep； all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation。
3：5他们故意忘记，从太古凭神的命有了天，并从水而出藉水而成的地。
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：
3：6故此，当时的世界被水淹没就消灭了。
Whereby the world that then was； being overflowed with water； perished：
3：7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沈沦的日子，用火焚烧。
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。
3：8亲爱的弟兄阿，有一件事你们不可忘记，就是主看一日如千年，千年如一日。
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。
3：9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，不愿有一人沈沦，乃愿人人都悔改。
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 e to repentance。
3：10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。
But the day of the Lord will e 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。
3：11这一切既都要如此销化，你们为人该当怎样圣洁，怎样敬虔，
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved； what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness；
3：12切切仰望神的日子来到。在那日天被烧就销化了，有形质的都要被烈火熔化。
Looking for and hasting unto the ing of the day of God； wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved； and the elements shall melt with fervent heat？
3：13但我们照他的应许，盼望新天新地，有义居在其中。
Nevertheless we； according to his promise； look for new heavens and a new earth； wherein dwelleth righteousness。
3：14亲爱的弟兄阿，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。
Wherefore； beloved； seeing that ye look for such things； be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace； without spot； and blameless。
3：15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。
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；
3：16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，就自取沈沦。
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。
3：17亲爱的弟兄阿，你们既然豫先知道这事，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。
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。
3：18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。
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。

1：1论到从起初原有的生命之道，就是我们所听见所看见的，亲眼看过，亲手摸过的。
That which was from the beginning； which we have heard； which we have seen with our eyes； which we have looked upon； and our hands have handled； of the Word of life；
1：2（这生命已经显现出来，我们也看见过，现在又作见证，将原与父同在，且显现与我们那永远的生命，传给你们）。
（For the life was manifested； and we have seen it； and bear witness； and shew unto you that eternal life； which was with the Father； and was manifested unto us；）
1：3我们将所看见，所听见的，传给你们，使你们与我们相交。我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的。
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you； that ye also may have fellowship with us： and truly our fellowship is with the Father； and with his Son Jesus Christ。
1：4我们将这些话写给你们，使你们（有古卷作我们）的喜乐充足。
And these things write we unto you； that your joy may be full。
1：5神就是光，在他毫无黑暗。这是我们从主所听见，又报给你们的信息。
This then is the message which we have heard of him； and declare unto you； that God is light； and in him is no darkness at all。
1：6我们若说是与神相交，却仍在黑暗里行，就是说谎话，不行真理了。
If we say that we have fellowship with him； and walk in darkness； we lie； and do not the truth：
1：7我们若在光明中行，如同神在光明中，就彼此相交，他儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪。
But if we walk in the light； as he is in the light； we have fellowship one with another； and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin。
1：8我们若说自己无罪，便是自欺，真里不在我们心里了。
If we say that we have no sin； we deceive ourselves； and the truth is not in us。
1：9我们若认自己的罪，神是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。
If we confess our sins； he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins； and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness。
1：10我们若说自己没有犯过罪，便是以神为说谎的。他的道也不在我们心里了。
If we say that we have not sinned； we make him a liar； and his word is not in us。

2：1我小子们哪，我将这些话写给你们，是要叫你们不犯罪。若有人犯罪，在父那里我们有一位中保，就是那义者耶稣基督。
My little children； these things write I unto you； that ye sin not。 And if any man sin； we have an advocate with the Father； Jesus Christ the righteous：
2：2他为我们的罪作了挽回祭。不是单为我们的罪，也是为普天下人的罪。
And he is the propitiation for our sins： and not for ours only； but also for the sins of the whole world。
2：3我们若遵守他的诫命，就晓得是认识他。
And hereby we do know that we know him； if we keep his mandments。
2：4人若说我认识他，却不遵守他的诫命，便是说谎话的。真里也不在他心里了。
He that saith； I know him； and keepeth not his mandments； is a liar； and the truth is not in him。
2：5凡遵守主道的，爱神的心在他里面实在是完全的，从此我们知道我们是在主里面。
But whoso keepeth his word； in him verily is the love of God perfected： hereby know we that we are in him。
2：6人若说他住在主里面，就该自己照主所行的去行。
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk； even as he walked。
2：7亲爱的弟兄阿，我写给你们的，不是一条新命令，乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令。这旧命令就是你们所听见的道。
Brethren； I write no new mandment unto you； but an old mandment which ye had from the beginning。 The old mandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning。
2：8再者，我写给你们的，是一条新命令，在主是真的，在你们也是真的。因为黑暗渐渐过去，真光已经照耀。
Again； a new mandment I write unto you； which thing is true in him and in you： because the darkness is past； and the true light now shineth。
2：9人若说自己在光明中。却恨他的弟兄，他到如今还是在黑暗里。
He that saith he is in the light； and hateth his brother； is in darkness even until now。
2：10爱弟兄的就是住在光明中，在他并没有绊跌的缘由。
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light； and there is none occasion of stumbling in him。
2：11唯独恨弟兄的是在黑暗里，且在黑暗里行，也不知道往那里去，因为黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness； and walketh in darkness； and knoweth not whither he goeth； because that darkness hath blinded his eyes。
2：12小子们哪，我写信给你们，因为你们的罪藉着主名得了赦免。
I write unto you； little children； because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake。
2：13父老阿，我写信给你们，因为你们认识那从起初原有的。少年人哪，我写信给你们，因为你们胜了那恶者。小子们哪，我曾写信给你们，因为你们认识父。
I write unto you； fathers； because ye have known him that is from the beginning。 I write unto you； young men； because ye have overe the wicked one。 I write unto you； little children； because ye have known the Father。
2：14父老阿，我曾写信给你们，因为你们认识那从起初原有的。少年人哪，我曾写信给你们，因为你们刚强，神的道常存在你们心里，你们也胜了那恶者。
I have written unto you； fathers； because ye have known him that is from the beginning。 I have written unto you； young men； because ye are strong； and the word of God abideth in you； and ye have overe the wicked one。
2：15不要爱世界，和世界上的事。人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了。
Love not the world； neither the things that are in the world。 If any man love the world； the love of the Father is not in him。
2：16因为凡世界上的事，就像肉体的情欲，眼目的情欲，并今生的骄傲，都不是从父来的，乃是从世界来的。
For all that is in the world； the lust of the flesh； and the lust of the eyes； and
