JMNT(i)
10 So the day of the Lord [= Yahweh]
will proceed in arriving as a thief [i.e., suddenly and without notice],
in which [
day]
the heavens (or: atmospheres; or: skies)
will proceed passing by with the noise of sudden movement, but yet rudimentary, elementary principles (or: basic component and parts of a system arranged in rows, or a grid; e.g., the elements and assumptions of a religious or intellectual system),
being progressively heated as with a burning fever, will be progressively loosed (unfastened; unbound; or: nullified; destroyed).
And then land (or: soil; ground; earth; or: = a territory) –
along with the things produced (or: actions; deeds; workmanships; accomplishments) [note: God's and/or man's]
within the midst of it – will continue being found (or: discovered; found out) [
p72 adds: being progressively loosed (or: destroyed); A reads: will be burned up]!
11 With all these people thus, then, being presently loosed, one after another (or: being in the process of being progressively unbound; or: with all these things being continuously dissolved in this way),
in what sort of way is it continuously necessary and binding for you folks [other MSS: us; other MSS have no personal pronoun here]
to constantly subsist (or: humbly rule or supportively possess)?
Within set-apart (or: holy; sacred),
upturned modes of behavior and [
lives of]
reverence (devout ease, virtuous conduct and goodness from relationship with God)!
