2 Peter 3:7

Overview - 2 Peter 3
He assures them of the certainty of Christ's coming to judgment, against those scorners who dispute against it;
warning the godly, for the long patience of God, to hasten their repentance.
10 He describes also the manner how the world shall be destroyed;
11 exhorting them, from the expectation thereof, to all holiness of life;
16 and again to think the patience of God to tend to their salvation, as Paul wrote to them in his epistles.
