2 Petrus 2:3

2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their ¹  condemnation pronounced long ago ²  is not sitting idly by; ³  their ⁴  destruction is not asleep.

2 Petrus 3:7-8

3:7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, by being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. ⁵ 

3:8 Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, ⁶  that a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day.

[2:3]  ¹ tn Grk “to whom,” introducing a subordinate relative clause.

[2:3]  ² tn Grk “the ancient judgment.”

[2:3]  ³ tn Grk “is not idle.”

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Greek has “and their.” As introducing a synonymous parallel, it is superfluous in English.

[3:7]  ⁵ tn Grk “the ungodly people.”

[3:8]  ⁶ tn The same verb, λανθάνω (lanqanw, “escape”) used in v. 5 is found here (there, translated “suppress”).
