* This (note :)The remedy against those wicked enemies , both of true doctrine and holiness , is to be sought for by the continual meditation of the writings of the prophets and apostles .(:note ) second epistle , beloved , I now write unto you ; in [both ] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance : * To call to remembrance the wordes , which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes , and also the commaundement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour . * * * * * * * * * * Looking for and (note :)He requires patience from us , yet such patience as is not slothful .(:note ) 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 ? * Nevertheless we , according to his promise , look for new heavens and a new earth , (note :)In which heavens .(:note ) wherein dwelleth righteousness . * Wherefore , beloved , seeing that ye look for such things , be diligent that ye may be found of him in (note :)that you may try to your benefit , how gently and profitable he is .(:note ) peace , without spot , and blameless . * And account [that ] the longsuffering of our Lord [is ] salvation ; (note :)Paul 's epistles are allowed by the express testimony of Peter .(:note ) even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you ; * As also in all [his ] epistles , speaking in them of these things ; (note :)There are some things that are obscure and dark which the ignorant use to overthrow men who are not established , wrestling the testimony of the scripture for their own destruction . But this is the remedy against such deceit , to labour that we may daily more and more grow up and increase in the knowledge of Christ .(:note ) 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 . * Ye therefore beloued , seeing ye know these thinges before , beware , lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked , and fall from your owne stedfastnesse . * But growe in grace , and in the knowledge of our Lorde and Sauiour Iesus Christ : to him be glory both now and for euermore . Amen .
