4 og sige: "Hvad bliver der af Forjættelsen om hans Tilkommelse? Fra den Dag, Fædrene sov hen, forblive jo alle Ting, som de vare, lige fra Skabningens Begyndelse."
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”
5 Thi med Villie ere de blinde for dette, at fra fordums Tid var der Himle og en Jord, som var fremstået af Vand og ved Vand i Kraft af Guds Ord,
5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
9 Herren forhaler ikke Forjættelsen (som nogle agte det for en Forhaling), men han er langmodig for eders Skyld, idet han ikke vil, at nogen skal fortabes, men at alle skulle komme til Omvendelse.
9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
10 Men Herrens Dag skal komme som en Tyv; på den skulle Himlene forgå med stort Bulder, og Elementerne skulle komme i Brand og opløses, og Jorden og alt, hvad der er på den, skal opbrændes.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
12 idet I forvente og fremskynde Guds Dags Tilkommelse, for hvis Skyld Himle skulle antændes og opløses, og Elementer komme i Brand og smelte.
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Da I altså, I elskede! vide det forud, såvogter eder, for at I ikke skulle rives med af de ryggesløses Vildfarelse og affalde fra eders egen Fasthed;
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,
