彼得后书 3

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，

qīn ài de dì xiong a ， wǒ xiàn zài xiě gěi nǐ men de shì dì èr fēng xìn 。 zhè liǎng fēng dōu shì tí xǐng nǐ men ， jī fā nǐ men chéng shí de xīn ，

This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you

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。

jiào nǐ men jì niàn shèng xiān zhī yù xiān suǒ shuō de huà hé zhǔ jiù zhǔ de mìng lìng ， jiù shì shǐ tú suǒ chuán gěi nǐ men de 。

that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

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：

dì yī yào jǐn de ， gāi zhī dào zài mò shì bì yǒu hǎo jī qiào de rén suí cóng zì jǐ de sī yù chū lái jī qiào shuō ：

knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts

「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。」

「 zhǔ yào jiàng lín de yīng xǔ zài nǎ lǐ ne ？ yīn wèi cóng liè zǔ shuì le yǐ lái ， wàn wù yǔ qǐ chū chuàng zào de shí hòu réng shì yí yàng 。」

and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

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。

tā men gù yì wàng jì ， cóng tài gǔ ， píng shén de mìng yǒu le tiān ， bìng cóng shuǐ ér chū 、 jiè shuǐ ér chéng de dì 。

For they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,

故此，当时的世界被水淹没就消灭了。

gù cǐ ， dāng shí de shì jiè bèi shuǐ yān mò jiù xiāo miè le 。

by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.

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。

dàn xiàn zài de tiān dì hái shì píng zhe nà mìng cún liú ， zhí liú dào bú jìng qián zhī rén shòu shěn pàn zāo chén lún de rì zi ， yòng huǒ fén shāo 。

But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

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。

qīn ài de dì xiong a ， yǒu yí jiàn shì nǐ men bù kě wàng jì ， jiù shì zhǔ kàn yí rì rú qiān nián ， qiān nián rú yī rì 。

But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

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。

zhǔ suǒ yīng xǔ de shàng wèi chéng jiù ， yǒu rén yǐ wéi tā shì dān yán ， qí shí bú shì dān yán ， nǎi shì kuān róng nǐ men ， bú yuàn yǒu yì rén chén lún ， nǎi yuàn rén rén dōu huǐ gǎi 。

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

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。

dàn zhǔ de rì zi yào xiàng zéi lái dào yí yàng 。 nà rì ， tiān bì dà yǒu xiǎng shēng fèi qù ， yǒu xíng zhì de dōu yào bèi liè huǒ xiāo huà ， dì hé qí shàng de wù dōu yào shāo jìn le 。

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

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，

zhè yí qiè jì rán dōu yào rú cǐ xiāo huà ， nǐ men wèi rén gāi dāng zěn yàng shèng jié ， zěn yàng jìng qián ，

Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

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。

qiè qiè yǎng wàng shén de rì zi lái dào 。 zài nà rì ， tiān bèi huǒ shāo jiù xiāo huà le ， yǒu xíng zhì de dōu yào bèi liè huǒ róng huà 。

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

但我们照他的应许，盼望新天新地，有义居在其中。

dàn wǒ men zhào tā de yīng xǔ ， pàn wàng xīn tiān xīn dì ， yǒu yì jū zài qí zhōng 。

But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

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；

qīn ài de dì xiong a ， nǐ men jì pàn wàng zhè xiē shì ， jiù dāng yīn qín ， shǐ zì jǐ méi yǒu diàn wū ， wú kě zhǐ zhāi ， ān rán jiàn zhǔ ；

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.

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。

bìng qiě yào yǐ wǒ zhǔ cháng jiǔ rěn nài wèi dé jiù de yīn yóu ， jiù rú wǒ men suǒ qīn ài de xiōng dì bǎo luó ， zhào zhe suǒ cì gěi tā de zhì huì xiě le xìn gěi nǐ men 。

Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you,

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。

tā yí qiè de xìn shàng yě dōu shì jiǎng lùn zhè shì 。 xìn zhōng yǒu xiē nán míng bái de ， nà wú xué wèn 、 bù jiān gù de rén qiáng jiě ， rú qiáng jiě bié de jīng shū yí yàng ， jiù zì qǔ chén lún 。

as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those, there are some things that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

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。

qīn ài de dì xiong a ， nǐ men jì rán yù xiān zhī dào zhè shì ， jiù dāng fáng bèi ， kǒng pà bèi è rén de cuò miù yòu huò ， jiù cóng zì jǐ jiān gù de dì bù shàng zhuì luò 。

You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.

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！

nǐ men què yào zài wǒ men zhǔ — jiù zhǔ yē sū jī dū de ēn diǎn hé zhī shi shàng yǒu zhǎng jìn 。 yuàn róng yào guī gěi tā ， cóng jīn zhí dào yǒng yuǎn 。 ā men ！

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
