2 Peter 3:12

σπεύδοντας. The thought is well compared with Peter’s words in Acts 3:19. Repent … ὅπως ἂν ἔλθωσιν καιροὶ�. As sins (cf. 2 Peter 3:9) delay the coming, so righteousness will accelerate it.

θεοῦ ἡμέρας, usually ἡμ. Κυρίου. In Revelation 16:14 we have “the great day of God Almighty.”

διʼ ἣν. ἑν ᾗ above in 2 Peter 3:10. We might render “on the occasion of which”: the destruction takes place because the Day has come.

Notice the repetition of words, λυθήσονται, στοιχεῖα, καυσούμενα. We have already encountered many such in our text.

τήκεται is the reading of אABKL. C has τακήσεται, P τακήσονται. Hort conjectures τήξεται, which is found with a passive sense in Hippocrates.
