Robertson Word Pictures - 2 Peter 3:13 - 3:13


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Promise (epaggelma). As in 2Pe 1:4. The reference is to Isa 65:17.; Isa 66:22. See also Rev 21:1. For kainos (new) see note on Mat 26:29. For the expectant attitude in prosdokōmen (we look for) repeated from 2Pe 3:12 and again in 2Pe 3:14, see apekdechometha (we eagerly look for) in Phi 3:20.

Wherein (en hois). The new heavens and earth.

Dwelleth (katoikei). Has its home (oikos). Certainly “righteousness” (dikaiosunē) is not at home in this present world either in individuals, families, or nations.
