9. Peter
The
KJV translates the Greek word for "
escape notice" as "
ignorant".
2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: [kjv]
3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: [kjv]
Today, most scientists deny that the flood of Noah ever happened - given the geologic features present today.
The idea in the Greek is that they willingly let it escape their notice.
10. 2 Peter 3:5
KJV: For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Greek: λανθανει γαρ αυτους τουτο θελοντας οτι ουρανοι ησαν εκπαλαι και γη εξ υδατος και δι υδατος συνεστωσα τω του θεου λογω
11. 2 Peter 3:6
KJV: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Greek: δι ων ο τοτε κοσμος υδατι κατακλυσθεις απωλετο
12. Peter
Peter uses the same word again a few verses later.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [kjv]
This last verse has the implication that God is outside of time and space as we know it.
We should not let this thing "
escape our notice".
13. 2 Peter 3:8
KJV: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Greek: εν δε τουτο μη λανθανετω υμας αγαπητοι οτι μια ημερα παρα κυριω ως χιλια ετη και χιλια ετη ως ημερα μια
14. Another form
Another form of the same word for "
escape notice" is the ancient Greek word
"λήθω" ≈ "escape notice".
This form appears in the
GNT. The
KJV often uses "
hid" for the idea of "
escape notice".
15. Mark 7:24
KJV: And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

16. Luke 8:47
KJV: And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
Greek: ιδουσα δε η γυνη οτι ουκ ελαθεν τρεμουσα ηλθεν και προσπεσουσα αυτω δι ην αιτιαν ηψατο αυτου απηγγειλεν αυτω ενωπιον παντος του λαου και ως ιαθη παραχρημα
17. Hebrews 13:2
KJV: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for there by some have entertained angels unawares.
Greek: της φιλοξενιας μη επιλανθανεσθε δια ταυτης γαρ ελαθον τινες ξενισαντες αγγελους
18. Prefix
Adding the Greek prefix "epi-" for "on" for emphasis provides a word that has the meaning of "forget".
19. Philippians 3:13
KJV: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Greek: αδελφοι εγω εμαυτον ου ουπω λογιζομαι κατειληφεναι εν δε τα μεν οπισω επιλανθανομενος τοις δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινομενος
