This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Pe_3:3. τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες ] cf. chap. 2Pe_1:20.
γινώσκοντες ] refers in loose construction (instead of an accus.) to the subject contained in μνησθῆναι .
ὅτι ἐλεύσονται κ . τ . λ .] Cf. Jud_1:18.[86]
ἘΝ ἘΜΠΑΙΓΜΟΝῇ ] gives sharp prominence to the conduct of the ἘΜΠΑῖΚΤΑΙ . The word is a ἍΠ . ΛΕΓ .; Heb_11:36 : ἘΜΠΑΙΓΜΌς ; with the constr. ἜΡΧΕΣΘΑΙ ἘΝ , cf. 1Co_4:21.
ΚΑΤᾺ ΤᾺς … ΠΟΡΕΥΌΜΕΝΟΙ ] Jud_1:18; Jud_1:16; ἸΔΊΑς is added so as to strengthen the pronoun ΑὙΤῶΝ .
[86] Hofmann unwarrantably assumes that by that, of which the writer would have his readers to be specially mindful, he does not mean only the contents of the sentence depending directly on γινώσκοντες , but still more than that.
