1	Ταύτην ἤδη ἀγαπητοί δευτέραν ὑμῖν γράφω ἐπιστολήν ἐν αἷς διεγείρω ὑμῶν ἐν ὑπομνήσει τὴν εἰλικρινῆ διάνοιαν	This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,	Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking.
2	μνησθῆναι τῶν προειρημένων ῥημάτων ὑπὸ τῶν ἁγίων προφητῶν καὶ τῆς τῶν ἀποστόλων ὑμῶν ἐντολῆς τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ Σωτῆρος	that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles,	I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3	τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες ὅτι ἐλεύσονται ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐν ἐμπαιγμονῇ ἐμπαῖκται κατὰ τὰς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν πορευόμενοι	knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.	Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
4	καὶ λέγοντες Ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ ἀφ’ ἧς γὰρ οἱ πατέρες ἐκοιμήθησαν πάντα οὕτως διαμένει ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς κτίσεως	They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”	They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”
5	Λανθάνει γὰρ αὐτοὺς τοῦτο θέλοντας ὅτι οὐρανοὶ ἦσαν ἔκπαλαι καὶ γῆ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ δι’ ὕδατος συνεστῶσα τῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ λόγῳ	For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,	But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
6	δι’ ὧν ὁ τότε κόσμος ὕδατι κατακλυσθεὶς ἀπώλετο	and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.	By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
