1 Evo vam, ljubazni, već pišem drugu poslanicu u kojima budim napominjanjem vaš čisti razum, 2 da se opominjete reči koje su napred kazali sveti proroci, i zapovesti svojih apostola od Gospoda i Spasa. 3 I ovo znajte najpre da će u poslednje dane doći rugači koji će živeti po svojim željama, 4 i govoriti: Gde je obećanje dolaska njegovog? Jer otkako oci pomreše sve stoji tako od početka stvorenja. 5 Jer navalice neće da znadu da su nebesa bila od pre i zemlja iz vode i usred vode Božijom reči. 6 Zato tadašnji svet bi vodom potopljen i pogibe. 7 A sadašnja nebesa i zemlja tom istom reči zadržana su te se čuvaju za dan strašnog suda i pogibli bezakonih ljudi. 8 Ali ovo jedno da vam ne bude nepoznato, ljubazni, da je jedan dan pred Gospodom kao hiljadu godina, i hiljadu godina kao jedan dan. 9 Ne docni Gospod s obećanjem, kao što neki misle da docni, nego nas trpi, jer neće da ko pogine, nego svi da dođu u pokajanje. 10 Ali će doći dan Gospodnji kao lupež noću, u koji će nebesa s hukom proći, a stihije će se od vatre raspasti a zemlja i dela što su na njoj izgoreće. 11 Kad će se dakle ovo sve raskopati, kakvim treba vama biti u svetom življenju i pobožnosti, 12 čekajući i želeći da bude skorije dolazak Božijeg dana, kog će se radi nebesa spaliti i raskopati, i stihije od vatre rastopiti? 13 Ali čekamo po obećanju Njegovu novo nebo i novu zemlju, gde pravda živi. 14 Zato, ljubazni, čekajući ovo starajte se da vas On nađe čiste i prave u miru. 15 I trpljenje Gospoda našeg držite za spasenje; kao što vam i ljubazni naš brat Pavle po danoj mu premudrosti pisa. 16 Kao što govori o ovome i u svima svojim poslanicama, u kojima imaju neke stvari teške razumeti, koje nenaučeni i neutvrđeni izvrću, kao i ostala pisma, na svoju pogibao. 17 A vi, dakle, ljubazni, znajući napred, čuvajte se da prevarom bezakonika ne budete odvedeni s njima, i ne otpadnete od svoje tvrđe; 18 nego napredujte u blagodati i u poznanju Gospoda našeg i spasa Isusa Hrista. Njemu slava i sad i u večna vremena. Amin.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And there are some, again, who relegate the death of Adam to the thousandth year; for since "a day of the Lord is as a thousand years," he did not overstep the thousand years, but died within them, thus bearing out the sentence of his sin.
… and was on account of his great sin dismissed from the blessedness of paradise into the woes of this mortal life, so that thus, as it is written, "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day," there should follow on the completion of six thousand years, as of six days, a …

For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year.
Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." There is nothing said here about the resurrection of the dead, but enough certainly regarding the destruction of this world.

… it is sufficiently obvious what part of the world is signified by the whole, and in what sense the word perished is to be taken, and what heavens were kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. And when he says a little afterwards, "The day of the Lord will come as …
