Footnotes
- 39 Or possibly, “striving for,” but the meaning “hasten” for σπουδάζω (spoudazō) is normative in Jewish apocalyptic literature (in which the coming of the Messiah/the end is anticipated). Such a hastening is not an arm-twisting of the divine volition, but a response by believers that has been decreed by God.
- 40 The coming of the day of God. Peter elsewhere describes the coming or parousia as the coming of Christ (cf. 2 Pet 1:16; 3:4). The almost casual exchange between “God” and “Christ” in this little book, and elsewhere in the NT, argues strongly for the deity of Christ (see esp. 1:1).
- 41 Grk “on account of which” (a subordinate relative clause in Greek).
- 42 Grk “being burned up, will dissolve.”
- 43 See note in v. on “celestial bodies.”
- 44 Grk “being burned up” (see v. 10).
