2 Petrus 2:8

2:8 (for while he lived among them day after day, that righteous man was tormented in his righteous soul ¹  by the lawless deeds he saw and heard ² )

2 Petrus 3:2

3:2 I want you to recall ³  both ⁴  the predictions ⁵  foretold by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles. ⁶ 

[2:8]  ¹ tn Grk “that righteous man tormented his righteous soul.”

[2:8]  ² tn Grk “by lawless deeds, in seeing and hearing [them].”

[3:2]  ³ tn Grk “to remember.” “I want you” is supplied to smooth out the English. The Greek infinitive is subordinate to the previous clause.

[3:2]  ⁴ tn “Both” is not in Greek; it is supplied to show more clearly that there are two objects of the infinitive “to remember” – predictions and commandment.

[3:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “words.” In conjunction with πρόειπον (proeipon), however, the meaning of the construction is that the prophets uttered prophecies.

[3:2]  ⁶ sn Holy prophets…apostles. The first chapter demonstrated that the OT prophets were trustworthy guides (1:19-21) and that the NT apostles were also authoritative (1:16-18). Now, using the same catch phrase found in the Greek text of 1:20 (τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες, touto prwton ginwskontes), Peter points to specific prophecies of the prophets as an argument against the false teachers.
