TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:3 in the last days: Peter was not merely predicting an event in the future; he was speaking about his readers’ situation. In the New Testament, the last days refers to the period from Jesus’ first coming to his second coming (see Acts 2:17; Heb 1:2). It is the time when God’s promises are fulfilled.
• scoffers will come: See Prov 1:22; 9:7-8; 13:1. Rather than using evidence and logic to argue, scoffers belittle and make fun of the truth.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες

this first knowing

Peter uses first here to refer to the degree of importance. It does not to refer to order in time. See how you translated this in 1:20. Alternate translation: “Most importantly, you must understand”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες

this first knowing

Peter is using a statement to give an instruction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this by translating it as a command. If you do so, it might be helpful to start a new sentence here. See how you translated this in 1:20. Alternate translation: “Above all, know this”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐλεύσονται & ἐν ἐμπαιγμονῇ ἐμπαῖκται

/will_be/_coming & with mocking mockers

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun mockery with a verb. Alternate translation: “mockers will come and mock”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κατὰ τὰς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν πορευόμενοι

according_to their own lusts ˱of˲_them pursuing

Here, Peter uses going to refer to habitually doing something, like someone who walks toward something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this metaphor literally. Alternate translation: “those habitually living according to their own lusts”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατὰ τὰς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῶν πορευόμενοι

according_to their own lusts ˱of˲_them pursuing

Here, lusts refers to sinful desires that are opposed to God’s will. Alternate translation: “living according to their own sinful desires”
