2 Peter 3:13
Promise ( επαγγελμα ). As in 1:4. The reference is to Isa 65:17f.; 66:22. See also Re 21:1. For καινος (new) see on Mt 26:29. For the expectant attitude in προσδοκωμεν (we look for) repeated from verse 12 and again in verse 14, see απεκδεχομεθα (we eagerly look for) in Php 3:20.Wherein ( εν οις ). The new heavens and earth.
Dwelleth ( κατοικε ). Has its home ( οικος ). Certainly "righteousness" ( δικαιοσυνη ) is not at home in this present world either in individuals, families, or nations.
