That now are (nun). "The now heavens" over against "the then world" (o tote kosmov verse II Peter 3:6).
By the same word (tw autw logw). Instrumental case again referring to logw in verse II Peter 3:6.
Have been stored up (teqhsaurismenoi eisin). Perfect passive indicative of qhsaurizw, for which verb see Matthew 6:19; Luke 12:21.

Being reserved (throumenoi). Present passive participle of threw, for which see II Peter 2:4.
Against (eiv). Unto. As in II Peter 2:4, II Peter 2:9 and see I Peter 1:4 for the inheritance reserved for the saints of God.
