1 | Question, exclamation or both? | 2 Pet 3:11 | terrib | 112434 | ||
I guess this would be a point of grammar. Do we take this as a question, exclamation or possibly both? Compare: KJV (2Pe 3:11) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, (2Pe 3:12) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? (Question mark) NASB (2Pe 3:11) Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, (2Pe 3:12) looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! (Exclamation mark) terrib |

2 | Question, exclamation or both? | 2 Pet 3:11 | Morant61 | 112438 | ||
Greetings Terrib! I would definitely go with 'question' for the following reason. The Greek text of 2 Pet. 3:11 includes an interrogative pronoun - 'potapos'. This is a clear indication that the sentence is meant to be a question. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Question, exclamation or both? | 2 Pet 3:11 | terrib | 112440 | ||
Thanks Tim, I was leaning in that direction because of the "what manner" and "what sort" use in the verses. The context of the text seems a little rhetorical, exhorting us to look inside. terrib |
