2 Peter 3:7
Compare all
5 For this they willfully forget: that aby the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth bstanding out of water and in the water,  
6 aby which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.  
7 But athe heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for bfire until the day of judgment and1 perdition of ungodly men.  
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and aa thousand years as one day.  
9 aThe Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but bis longsuffering toward us, cnot willing that any should perish but dthat all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:7

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.

For fire (puri). Dative case of pur, not with fire (instrumental case). The destruction of the world by fire is here pictured as in Joel 2:30 f.; Psalms 50:3.

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.
