‏ 2 Peter 3:11

 To be dissolved ( λυομενων ). Present passive participle (genitive absolute with  τουτων παντων, these things all) of  λυω, either the futuristic present or the process of dissolution presented.

 What manner of persons ( ποταπους ). Late qualitative interrogative pronoun for the older  ποδαπος as in Mt 8:27, accusative case with  δε υπαρχειν agreeing with  υμας (you). See 1:8 for  υπαρχω.

 In all holy living and godliness ( εν αγιαις αναστροφαις κα ευσεβειαις ). "In holy behaviours and pieties" (Alford). Plural of neither word elsewhere in N.T., but a practical plural in  πασα αναστροφη in 1Pe 1:15.
