- From

Commentary.
- "From the doctrine of

- From
Wesley's Notes.
- "In a word, with God
time passes neither slower nor swifter than is suitable to him and his
economy; nor can there be any reason why it should be necessary for him
either to delay or hasten the end of all things. How can we comprehend
this? If we could comprehend it, St. Peter needed not to have added,
with the Lord."
- From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "God's œonologe (eternal-ages
measurer) differs wholly from man's horologe (hour-glass). His
gnomon (dial-pointer) shows all the hours at once in the greatest
activity and in perfect repose. To Him the hours pass away, neither more
slowly, nor more quickly, than befits His economy. There is nothing to
make Him need either to hasten or delay the end. The words, "with
the Lord" (Ps
90:4, "In Thy sight"), silence all man's objections on the
ground of his incapability of understanding this [BENGEL]."
- From
The
People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
- "Since we have no
abiding home on this earth and seek one beyond, we should live in a
state of preparation."

- "The believers to whom Peter
writes have, in his view, two interrelated problems: they doubt the
coming of Christ and they are drawn to immoral living."

- "A
Brief Note on a Textual Problem in 2 Peter 3:10," by Daniel B. Wallace of Dallas
Theological Seminary.
- One of the most
difficult textual problems in the NT is found in 2 Peter 3:10. The
reading euJreqhvsetai (“will be found” or, as the NET Bible reads
it, “will be laid bare”), which enjoys by far the earliest and best
support (• B K P 1241 1739text et alii) is nevertheless so difficult a
reading that many scholars regard it as nonsensical. Indeed, several
translations adopt a different reading often because of the difficulty
of this one: KJV and ASV have “shall be burned up”; NASB and NJB
have “will be burned up.”"
