  2 Pet. 3:10 "earth and the works in it will be discovered"?? or burned up?

  by M.J. in

  2. bible

  here's the nwt rendering of the verse:.

  (2 peter 3:10) 10 yet jehovahs day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered.. other translations say the earth will "burn up".. nkj: but the day of the lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.. ylt: and it will come -- the day of the lord -- as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.. same goes for every other translation i've found.. the word in question, katakaio according to the lexicons i've seen only point to the meaning of: burn & consume by fire.. where did the nwt get "discovered" from?.

  I found this in the meantime from propadeutic.com:

• 2 Peter 3:10 - The text is confused in the last word of the verse. In some mss. the earth and its works will be burned up. In one they will melt. In some they are destroyed. In some they will not be found. In some they will be found. In one they will be found destroyed. The reading found seems most able to explain the rise of the others, and is meaningful if understood as exposed, laid bare, or possibly found deserving of judgment. Most translations have burned up, and AAT and William have the similar melt. Lamsa is alone in choosing not found. Among those choosing found are NWT, NIV, NAB, NRSV, REB, CEV, GW, NLT1, ISV, NET, ESV, TNIV, MSG, HCSB, and NLT2. GNT has the unlikely reading vanish (similar Moffatt), and here the NIrV is paraphrased beyond recognition�perhaps to avoid the question altogether.
