To be dissolved (luomenwn). Present passive participle (genitive absolute with toutwn pantwn, these things all) of luw, either the futuristic present or the process of dissolution presented.
What manner of persons (potapouv). Late qualitative interrogative pronoun for the older podapov as in Matthew 8:27, accusative case with dei uparxein agreeing with umav (you). See II Peter 1:8 for uparxw.
In all holy living and godliness (en agiaiv anastrofaiv kai eusebeiaiv). "In holy behaviours and pieties" (Alford). Plural of neither word elsewhere in N.T., but a practical plural in pasa anastrofh in I Peter 1:15.
